Ah, the cycle of illusions—been there more times than I’d like to admit! One of my most unforgettable moments was during the 2020 pandemic-driven crash. I convinced myself, “This is the bottom, it can’t go any lower!” and went all in on a few “safe” stocks.


Turns out, the market did go lower, and I was left holding positions that didn’t recover for months. The irony? When the market finally rebounded, I sold too early, thinking, “This rally can’t last!”


Lesson learned: timing the market is a fool’s game. These days, I focus on fundamentals and stick to my strategy—less stress, better outcomes.
