Sometimes it’s hard to give up old habits. I’ve tried my hand at stockpicking for a long time. What I did not learn is that you should sell when others are buying and buy when others are selling. In April 2025, I should have been loading up. Instead, I was selling. The corollary of that is now I should be lightening up, but for many reasons, I can’t be out of the market. So as I mentioned before, looking at ETFs. For the most part, the ones I’m looking at did a lot better over the last few years than I did.
I didn’t trust my instincts. Sold too early into falling markets. Didn’t learn a darn thing in 50 years.
