However, there's a saying, if the money comes easily, it will go easily as well. A big lesson learnt. Yes, I did made nice profit through my initial phase of investment as the stock market was under a crazy bull during the COVID, then I anyhow buy more and more stocks all the way, believing I can win the whole world money haha. I ended up losing most of my profits in 2022 during the aggressive pullback. Now, I learnt to trade technically and locked profit ๐ when the trend reversed. I am sure that I will do better in similar situation next time.

Ultimately, there will always be reasons to be cautious. The optimistic and forward-thinking investors who have the potential to achieve financial success in the stock market. As such, it's essential to remain focused on the bigger picture and to continue investing through both good times and bad, as it's often during the darkest hours that the greatest opportunities arise.
Personally, I already set up a few auto-invest plan via Tiger App $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ to encourage continuous investment in a disciplinary manner and ride on the long-term sustainable capital growth. Sharing here is the returns on one of my auto-invest in $Alphabet(GOOG)$ [Sly]
