🧠 Smart People Lose Money Too? Maybe It’s the Phase You’re In.
We've all been there.
🔸 You read 3 books and suddenly think you're Paul Tudor Jones
🔸 You ape into a breakout — and get rug-pulled 3% later
🔸 You skip your stop loss because "this one's ifferent"
Truth is, investing isn't just about skill — it's about phase.
🔄 The 4 Investor Phases (Which Are You?)
1️⃣ The Gambler
Thinks the market is a slot machine. Overtrades. Ignores risk.
Loses money, gains humility.
2️⃣ The Student
Starts learning: indicators, macro, earnings calls, liquidity zones.
Progress feels slow — but it compounds.
3️⃣ The Strategist
Backtests setups, trades with risk management, reads price action.
Still wrong sometimes, but knows why.
4️⃣ The Builder
Uses DCA, portfolio balancing, and patience.
Doesn't need to win every day — just stays in the game.
🧭 My Plan Now?
✅ 60% long-term DCA into index ETFs
✅ 30% swing trades with tight stops
✅ 10% lotto plays (because let's be real... ww're all here for some action)
✅ Daily journaling to track mindset, not just trades
Final Word:
> “The key to investing is to stop being clever.”
The market doesn't reward IQ — it rewards EQ, discipline, and staying power.
So... what phase are you in?
