But do you know what it feels like to actually buy during a "meltdown" as an average retail investor?
- Your portfolio is red. - The news says the world is ending. - You second guess everything. - You end up panic selling... at the exact wrong time.
Happens every cycle.
🟢Smart investors will: - Buy shares while they are on sale. - Buy calls when nobody wants them. (cheaper) - Sell puts when the herd is paying top dollar for them. (selling for max premium)
I always say the emotional aspect of investing is what crushes most retail investors... I do mean that.
