My top 10 mistakes in my trading career. What to avoid to make sure you don’t make the same mistakes as I did: 1. Inverse/leveraged ETF’s have DECAY. The longer you hold, the longer you get punished. 2. Do not MARKET buy low volume stocks. Only limit orders. The spread will make you lose -3% right from the start if you market buy. 3. Investing in semi’s, electrical equipment, hardware, memory, is NOT diversified. It’s one single leveraged bet on one theme. Don’t fool yourself. They will all move the same. 4. If you have FOMO, do NOT go all-in. Start small. 1/5 position size. Then add more once you realize you were acting like an idiot. 5. BUY when others get stopped-out. Look at obvious stop-loss areas. Buy there instead. 6. Don’t do anything drastic or crazy. Always do it small first. Markets are topping? Don’t sell, just trim. Markets bottoming? Don’t go all-in, build slowly. Markets can keep going up or down for a VERY long time. 7. Stocks grind up slowly. Stocks fall fast. Don’t let your emotions make you stupid. 8. TRIM when everyone is happy. And buy more defensive stocks. 9. BUY when everyone is sad. And buy more high growth tech stocks. 10. Individual stocks do NOT matter. It’s the entire portfolio working as a system that matters. Which ones are the superstars? Which ones are the role players? Which one is the rookie? Build your system and team around your strengths.
