Success in this game? Outwork everyone else. Simple.

Do the research nobody wants to do. That's where edge lives. I've trimmed some pre-market positions from my core—yeah, those $2.80 risk levels looked tempting, but the balance sheet situation (or lack of one) kept flashing red. When fundamentals scream caution, listen.

Risk management isn't sexy. But it keeps you alive when others blow up. Adjust exposure before the market adjusts it for you.
