1st Round Playoff Exits
About 500 pages ago @Serious recommended that new folks go back and read the thread from mid-March when the crash started. I did it, and it was incredibly helpful. I learned the language of the market, the strategies used by the frequent posters here, which YouTubers to follow, and most importantly, I learned how to approach DD.

Doing this will take a few weeks/months, but it will significantly cut down your learning curve.

Besides, it is free. It just requires diligence, and discipline.

The other thing I did was I told myself that I was not going to invest until I finished this reading project. That stopped me from developing bad habits, and curved my yolo and fomo instincts.

Because of this ,I am able to stick to my plan no matter what's running at the moment.
Ye that’s honestly what I did before I dropped a penny into the market.....


Hell I think it’s good to back do this quarterly to see what you missed out and how to self improve.

just finished watching this and she said she expects a "doozy" of a correction this year. makes me wonder how bad is doozy now:patrice: a 10% is the most i can see the S&P dropping.

i will say there's a lot of gaps below to fill that would require more than a 10% drop. like 2/3 gaps get filled so i don't know what to expect. just a wonky market at this point. i can see the market correcting itself when interest rates increase, but that should be good for banks. i might've talked myself into buying more JPM now.
Ye idk just gotta be cautious because a lot shyt is running on stupid mode.

Chicken genius said he's more bearish than ever on nio. I was actually thinking of adding some shares from here because I can see it running just off these headlines. Most investors probably don't understand the tech behind the announcements but it all sounds nice.

Is this outdated? How can you lose 90% unless youre investing in literal garbage stocks?

This is due to options. You'd have buy stocks in only bankrupted companies to go near 0 lol...


:mjlol: Yep. If you have the ability to daytrade, rarely will you take L's like the aforementioned with stocks.
