Short term pessimist, long term optimist. Still the most effective trading strategy. It helps you realize profits, preserve capital, while keeping you bullish long term allowing you to stay level headed on dips and major corrections.

The pendulum from overvalued growth stocks swinging back to value plays that got hammered from inflation is the reason why it feels like a bear market while some indexes are at ATHs. Retail historically invests heavy in growth which is why there's so much panic.

If your trading style is slow and boring, you are investing. If it's fast and fun, you are gambling. The best way to balance this is to put majority of your net worth into the boring stuff and then try to feed the boring account with the fun account knowing you have a safety net.

$HOOD - 45 to 54% drawdowns have led to 400% moves. While a 400% pump now would value it as the largest trading brokerage firm by marketcap I think $200 as a long term multi year target is reasonable. Especially at the growth rate they've achieved and the products they add.

Making decisions on low volume stock market futures is a massive trap. Futures mean nothing majority of the time, easy to manipulate and gives people biases going into the day.

$HOOD - Filled another gap, bouncing back into the channel.

Haven\'t seen anyone talking about how much Michael Saylor and $MSTR made today but heard all about his unrealized losses all week. The revenge story should be great.

Don\'t torture yourself over decisions you should have made. No one is trading this perfectly, perfection does not exist in trading. Learn from your losses and then forget they happened. We are only 1 month into the year, you have 11 months left to see where you can finish.

The good news is we are almost done with earnings season for the stock market. That was not a fun round.
