Chase rallies, lose money. That's the pattern most traders know but few actually follow.
Here's the thing—understanding this simple rule changes everything. Your decision-making improves. Your portfolio stops bleeding from FOMO trades. Your long-term returns actually compound the way they should.
The best investors don't chase. They wait, they analyze, they build positions when others panic. Your future self will thank you for getting this right now.

It's really true, those who chase the rise and sell the fall are all here to give away money, with no exceptions.

You're right, chasing gains and selling in panic is just giving away money.

Honestly, I've seen too many people fall for the trap of chasing gains and selling losses, but they just can't stop.

ngl the whole "wait for panic" thing is statistically significant but like... actually watching your portfolio tank while you're sitting on cash? that's the hard part nobody talks about. given the historical data most people just fomo anyway lol

That's true, but on the other hand... I've seen too many people say they won't chase highs, but with a quick flick of the hand, they end up buying in anyway.
