Dangerous Week For Investors
I Don’t Write For You
I’d love to act like this is a selfless endeavor but it’s not.
My goal with writing is selfish, I do it to improve my journey as an investor.
Paradoxically, that’s what makes it valuable.
There is no narrative I need to sell or trade idea quota I need to meet. I’m simply sharing insights to what I’m thinking and how I’m navigating the markets.
And honestly, weeks like this are exactly why I keep this piece of paper hung up in my office.
Everything Everywhere All At Once
The markets ripped this week. Everything, Everywhere, All at once, Was up.
That’s what makes this week dangerous.
If you’re a value investor, it’s “Ha, I was right.” If you’re into crypto, the same. Growth? Same thing.
All it does is feed the ego and create false confidence in our abilities.
It’s easy to forget about risk management and lose sight of our plan, falling into the trap of chasing shiny objects—constantly seeking stocks that are soaring, even if they don’t align with our strategy or conviction.
That’s how you blow up.
Trade YOUR plan. Based on YOUR Risk Tolerance and YOUR timeframe.
I’ll be posting plenty of setups with clean risk-reward on StockTwits and X this weekend but I wanted the message this week to be clear.
Remember, it’s a Bull market. Don’t confuse that for Brilliance.
Cheers,
