FODN. The Fear Of Doing Nothing.

FODN has erased more value from my TD account than any other acronym and it’s not close.

Often times, most often I’d say, doing nothing is best. For example, I’m in the shower watching the market per usual. I feel spooked. I feel smarter than I really am. I must dodge the crash. Buying QQQ puts. I lost $4000. Repeat.

If you must do something, do this. Take a mental snapshot of your current state. You’re in the shower. You’re spooked about a crash. You feel smarter than you are. Do nothing. Scrub your nethers and git.
