2022-03-14

Both short sell and going long are just strategic approach to beat the market. Anyways to stay afloat in the current volatile environment, no one should be going too deep or holding for too long. Personally, I learnt this the hard way.

Keeping a keen observation of the market is the ability that every excellent investor needs to have. The market is changing rather than static.

The most important thing in investment is to keep a clear head and never get hot headed to do something.
