It is hard to time the market

2021-03-26

It is hard to time the market at times and hard not to look at the price every other moment after we did the purchases or sales... We all wanna be perfect in our decisions. But we cant be perfect and we must learn to stride thru the dips and not let ourselves be too emotional. Invest safe, dear investors. When in doubt, always look at biz fundamentals and related news and remain calm.

It's impossible to get 10/10 winners. More importantly, your winners must outweigh your losses. Even if u hv fewer winners, the goal is to hv a net gain
