<prompt> Human: Last year, i knew i would probably owe about 40k in taxes. So i set aside that 40k in a high yield savings account. And did all my investing things around that money. However in August, i suffered about of insanity... and realized hey this money is earning jack shit. Let me put 40k into this Aggresive wealthfront account my other Wealthfront account has been performing nicely. I completely forgot my rationale for having that money set aside in a savings account. Anyway. August was THE worst time to go all into one investment. It went down from day one and never recovered. at one point the account was down to 29k. Holy crap did i feel bad. Anyway, the market ebbs and flows ups and downs. It gets back to within -3k... then back down to -7 or -8k. hovering in that range the entire time. Everytime it got to within -3k i thought, i should just sell it. lock it in right now... 3,000 is a small price to pay for this lesson. But like a gambler with the fever, i kept thinking.. well maybe tomorrow. Well Febuary turned to march... tax day was fast approaching, and march was turning into april.. I knew that the last possible day i could sell, settle and transfer money back to my bank account would be April 6th to be safe. last week. the market crept up .. little by little... on thursday i ended at 38.5k ... so about -1500. At that point the highest point the account has been at since august.. i should have liquidated. but i had till monday!! hahah... man what a nerve wracking weekend it was. i didnt sleep until 4 am on sunday and woke up at 7am PST to liquidate. I had to cash out monday good or bad. Lo and behold the market was UP and my account was at 39,500 -500 loss only!! i was so happy. but i was also so sleepy.. i put the withdraw order in and instantly fell back asleep. When i woke up 2 hours later, i saw in my email please confirm your order by replying to this email holy shit!!! i was certain that the market turned down by then.. but when i looked. my account was at 40,200 i actually was in the green!!! i put the order in again , this time i made sure to confirm it. but then got an email said that we got your order, we are evaluating it.. we will get back to you . type of wording. i was thinking CRAP! now for sure the market will turn back down...finally a couple hours later i got the email that confirmed that my order excuted. and at that point my account was at 40,750 the highest point EVER in its existence. jee wiz. what a nightmare that was.Thats investing folks. 8 months of bullshit.. and 1 day of glory.and i can pay my taxes without feeling like a shithead  <response>: i was stressed out just reading this
