All I wanted to do is make money to help my kids afford a lifestyle like mine where hard work translates into a home and some financial freedom. I drive a compact car to save money and invest in companies with low p/e reasonable book values and little debt…. sound companies and I also look at oversold signals to avoid buying at the top.
I don't touch options, I try to trade on fundamentals and I read/listen to business media constantly.. but I am never never rewarded. The market moves to create such cognitive dissidence that it is unnatural and forces me to always trade at a loss for fear of losing more.
In fact the moment I trade a stock.. the ticker seems to dive the next second… it is unreal… like something super natural is toying with me. It's like a nightmare.
All I wanted is to beat inflation and set my kids up to have a life I “did” but I am failing.
I am deflated. You won. Happy now. What was your real goal. Are you the devil because it certainly seems like it.
