Investing is 20% knowledge and 80% behavior. Behavior is 20% news and 80% mindset. To improve your returns, improve your mindset.

Play the infinite game. #investing #life

Your portfolio is like a bar of soap. The more you fiddle with it, the smaller it becomes.

"It can ruin your life only if it ruins your character." — Marcus Aurelius

Before dreaming of significant wealth, concentrate on developing exceptional skills.

It costs $0.00 to be an optimist. It costs $0.00 to be kind. It costs $0.00 to think long-term.

The less I checked my portfolio, the better it performs.

You can’t control the market. You can control your reaction to the market.

“You don’t beat the market—you align with it. Let probability and patience do the heavy lifting.” You can’t force the market to move your way. It doesn’t care what you want. It’s bigger, faster, and more ruthless than you. But it does leave clues. Patterns. Momentum. Psychology. Your job isn’t to predict. It’s to wait. Wait for the odds to lean in your favor. Then act—small, sharp, and disciplined. Let math and time do the work. Not your emotions. Most lose trying to control the market. The best just align with it—and ride the wave.

"Only the game, can teach you the game." ~Jesse Livermore

Discipline is when your long-term goals change your short-term behavior.

Wealth isn't built in bull markets. It's built in bear markets and realized in bull markets.

The market punishes emotion. If you can’t stay calm, you won’t stay in the game

Investing quote of the day:

@plantmath1 People trying to buy the dip on stocks 🤔

$TLT has dropped $5 since Friday. Who is dumping treasuries?

Bad investors sell in markets like this. Good investors get nervous but hold. Great investors are completely unfazed. The best investors get excited about potential opportunities.

@The_RockTrading @TheTechTraders Chris Vermulin thinks we will bottom in Oct 2022 lows.

We are very close to post Covid highs.

The S&P 500 has returned an average of 10% per year since 1928 and has done so despite an average intra-year drawdown of 16%, and often drawdowns that are much worse. The lesson? Volatility doesn’t equal a permanent financial loss unless you sell.

Invest, don't trade! "Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can bail out of stocks now, then jump back in when the market stabilizes. Gains historically have come in unpredictable spurts, and the biggest advances often come within days of the worst declines. If you missed the 10 best days over the 20 years from 2005 to 2024, you would have reduced your returns by more than 40 percent, according to J.P. Morgan; if you missed 30 of the best days out of the roughly 5,000 trading days during that period, you’d have lost money, after inflation."

Mindset is kinda important. Radically moderate, in market highs and lows, will serve you well.
