I remember when I first started trading stocks, I bought Amazon after Christmas 2013 or 2014 in anticipation that their earnings would kill it due to Christmas. I think Amazon was at around $400 at the time. After the earnings report, they dropped about $320 so I freaked out, sold and never touched Amazon again. I still cry to this day.
