Now that markets are hosting a laser party again from $SIVE, OE Solutions, $LITE, Coherent, to $AAOI.
There’s a pretty interesting study:
Both from Fidelity and a UC Berkeley research paper, that the best investors are the ones who either…
- Anecdotally forgot about their account (Fidelity)
- Didn’t actively trade/overtrade (18.5% return from infrequent traders vs. 11.4%).
Not any advice, but some of these anecdotes might be helpful to retail to read in general…
Since I witnessed a lot capitulation off memory, photonics, or thematic volatility, just for retail not have positions on a sharp recovery.
Having conviction also usually people in that “not overtrading” camp, since it helps to not overtrade in drops or see opportunities to cost average.
