Bought 50 shares AMC at $18 last week on a whim with some dividend cash in my account and decided to surprise my wife with the news today and to let her know I was planning to ride it out for the potential big upside. Kicking myself I didn't buy more.
Proceeded to get into a huge argument about making money decisions without telling her. She readily admits she has no gift for investment or budgets (she is a good saver, however), but now I need to let her know if I reallocate from cash to stock. That's just not happening. A $1000 loss would have no effect on our life and I won't be babysat.
Also ripped into me about my decision to reallocate $8,000 cash into SLV last March 2020 at $12 which I told her about the day I did it. (should have bought crypto, but hey, nobody is perfect) She is normally reasonable, but sometimes you just can't win. I'm still enjoying today.
