My BIGGEST Mistake: Don’t Make This One! Hi Everyone, If you’ve been following my posts, you know I’ve been on a four-year journey in value investing—learning the ropes, honing my skills, and diving deep into what value investing truly means. As 2024 draws to a close and we prepare to step into 2025, I’ve been reflecting on the mistakes I’ve made and how I can improve my analysis in selecting the right businesses. Today, I want to share my biggest mistake with you, in hopes that it might help you avoid making the same error. My Biggest Mistake When I first started investing, I, like many others, was tempted by the allure of quick profits and fast cash. During a bullish market, it’s easy to get caught up in the fear of missing out (FOMO), diving into stocks that might be great businesses bu

Here's what nobody tells you about trading discipline. It's not about motivation or willpower. You can't just "try harder" to be disciplined. If it were that simple, everyone would be profitable by now. Think about these scenarios. You see a setup forming but it's not quite perfect. You take the trade anyway because "close enough is good enough". Your stop loss is about to get hit, but you move it because you "feel" the market will reverse. You're down for the week and decide to risk 5% instead of your usual 1% to "recover losses". Sound familiar? These aren't strategy problems. These are discipline problems. Why Discipline Is Harder Than It Looks When you're backtesting, everything seems easy. You can fast forward. Drawdowns can be recovered easily. You don't feel the emotional impact of

The Illusion of the “Perfect Routine” and Trading Psychology I always thought that if I did the million-dollar morning routine, take ice bath, meditate, and practice mindfulness, my trading psychology will be fixed. Whenever I see price is moving in my favour, I shifted my stop loss to secure profits. It’s fine right? It’s never wrong to secure real profits rather than letting it be an unrealized gain. I see the price took me out as my stop loss is too tight. The price went higher and higher without me. If only I had followed my trading plan which is to do nothing until price has shown bullish impulse. When I see that price made an impulsive move in my favour, I will wait a little while longer to secure my profits. I know my trading plan is telling me to close the position now. But let’s s

$STZ VERTICAL 241129 PUT 235.0/PUT 237.5$  In this scenario, I decided to cut loss rather then seeing the option contract through till Friday, which may trigger my max loss.  Everyone likes to share their winning trades, but I like to emphasize that there will be times when you get losing ones as well. It's during these times that you need to inflect and reflect, make better-informed decisions, and become a better trader.  Celebrate the small wins and reflect upon the losses.  @madluvyz - Specialist in using TA to sell options and swing trade.

🌟🌟🌟Failure has a bad rap.  To many it is a loaded word, packed with a negative connotation.  Failure by buying the wrong stocks can evoke feelings of disappointment, self doubt, unworthiness, fear, anxiety and even shame. However failure can also be a golden opportunity to learn, reflect and to grow in order to become a better investor.  I have made many mistakes in the course of seeking the best stocks to invest.   However I view failure and mistakes as stepping stones to become a better investor. I have learnt not to let emotions like FOMO or Fear guide me when it comes to investing.  When I first started investing, I tend to follow the crowd and go for the hottest stocks.  But these days, I am more careful and do my research th

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Failures can be incredibly valuable for learning how to invest effectively, though they are not strictly necessary if someone takes proactive steps to educate themselves beforehand. Mistakes like buying high and selling low, chasing “hot tips,” or failing to diversify can teach lessons that stick better than theoretical knowledge. Experiencing losses often pushes investors to develop better strategies, such as setting stop-losses, rebalancing portfolios, or conducting deeper research. Failure helps investors understand that setbacks are part of the process and develop the patience required for long-term success.

Investing is a journey filled with excitement, challenges, and lessons that often come the hard way. While it’s tempting to imagine a path paved with unbroken success, the reality is that failure is often a critical ingredient in becoming a skilled investor. Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's legendary partner, once quipped, "There are no value investors under the age of 40." This is more than a humorous remark—it's a profound commentary on how the wisdom required for disciplined investing often comes from hard-earned experience. As someone who has traded through booms, busts, and everything in between, I’ve learned that failure isn’t just an inevitable part of the process—it’s a necessary one. Here’s why. The Beginner’s Luck Trap Many new investors enter the market during a bull run. Prices

Do people need failure to learn  investing? For me yes but now I gonna share a lesson from The art of Investing by Roy Neuberger, so that you can prevent and not had failure like I experienced. - Neuberger established one of the first no-load mutual funds in the United States. - He made his name by short selling the stock of the Radio Corporation of America in 1929. - His prescient investment advice can be a good learning resource for new investors. Neuberg passed away at the age of 107 from 1903 to 2010. He witnessed almost every significant market boom and bust of the last century in his 70-year investment career, and he survived two major financial crises in 1929 and 1987. Debut in the stock market Neuberger started his investment journey as a runner for a brokerage firm in Ma

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  Failures: The Unsung Heroes of Investment Learning Is failure a prerequisite for investment success? While it might sound counterintuitive, the answer is a resounding yes. Just like any skill, investing is learned through experience, and often, that experience comes in the form of setbacks. Here's why failures are essential: Reality Check: Failures expose the limitations of our knowledge and assumptions. They force us to confront the unpredictable nature of the market, humbling our ego and preventing overconfidence. Risk Management Lessons: Mistakes can teach us valuable lessons about risk management. By analyzing the causes of our losses, we can develop strategies to mitigate future risks and protect our capital.  

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Failures are good lessons to all investors. I doubt no investors never experienced from failures. Even the greatest investor like Buffet did meet failures then and now. Importantly, investors must be able to manage and control the emotions from failures and move forward. Avoiding the mistakes made n conserving the capital or cash to actively investing.😁
