Just count the times you mentioned "I" and "think" in your post. There's no place for "you" nor thinking in trading. Not to mention you have to listen really well, what the boring market is telling you. But we want action, excitement, dopamine, overthink and be smart, serve ourselve, make a lot of money...right? You are poised to fuck yourself.
@never2old OK fortune plays a big role, but if you have to pick stocks because you are a manager of an Hedge funds, admitting today human beings still do that, you gotta make choices, you can't never wait for the trade you like. This trade-off should be considered I guess, even because there are different kind of bear markets, some are predictable, other depends by regulatory laws, or trade wars as the dart monkey thing. Ok today there is a new paradigm, GS employees did good during 2008 and for years after, but today Buffett is selling 85 percent of his position, but still there are legendary investors that have a considerable net worth, really they are lucky? I dare to say not @orbit23 >But we want action, excitement, dopamine, overthink and be smart, serve ourselve, make a lot of >money...right? >You are poised to fuck yourself. Love that, I am quite masochist. Plus a cost opportunity benefit, you get high without expensive drugs, risking even to get some money.

Cynicism just comes with getting old. As far as trading changing how you see things, I now look at a temperature-change chart from the weekly weather outlook and instantly see "a market", lol!
%% Another good thing about AMZN/WMT; I don't have to build my library to hold 3.000 books-- look online+ find 200, or 2,000/LOL
Probably depends on the person. Most prefer it online. I like it old fashion tho, - paper books. In the future, libraries will remains only in museums as relics of the past.
%% I prefer paper also; not owing 3,000 books. Reading 3,000 books =ok.LOL AMZN/WMT is helpful in that its easier to browse without a book buy you don't really want...………………………………………………………………………………………………..
