$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Interesting post. I used to think being smart would protect me from losses, but I’ve learned the hard way that discipline beats intelligence in the markets. Overtrading and trying to outsmart everything only drained my account.

Right now, I’d say I’m in the “hard-effort” phase—reading charts, following economic data, and trying to understand the big picture. It’s overwhelming at times, but I’m learning a lot.

That said, I’ve started to respect the simplicity of DCA and holding long-term. Watching others quietly grow their portfolios while I stress over trades made me rethink my approach.

Smart People Lose Money Too? What Phase Are You in as an Investor?
Most stock market losses come from reckless trading. A veteran investor with a 90% win rate over 10 years once said: “The key to investing is to stop being clever.” What’s your trading plan right now? Or you a newbie wanna try everything? The hard-effort one who are learning about technicals, macro & micro events and everything? Or the one just holding and DCA like our smart fellow tigers?
