(but if you listened, it would boost your portfolio)
I’ve been investing for 16 years now. When you start things can be… interesting. If you’re a relative newbie, and not getting results, hear me out:
#1
The market is not against you.
You're not getting returns because your strategy is sh*t 😳
#2
You second-guess your trades because your research is just not strong enough (yet).
#3
You need more practice, and practice means being OK with making mistakes.
And yes, making mistakes means losing money.
#4
If you want faster and better results, you need to devote more time to research.
A lot, actually.
#5
You might be confusing conviction with confirmation bias. Or delusion.
Make sure you're not.
