trading is changing my view of the world

Just count the times you mentioned "I" and "think" in your post.

There's no place for "you" nor thinking in trading.

Not to mention you have to listen really well, what the boring market is telling you.


But we want action, excitement, dopamine, overthink and be smart, serve ourselve, make a lot of money...right?
You are poised to fuck yourself.

OK fortune plays a big role, but if you have to pick stocks because you are a manager of an Hedge funds, admitting today human beings still do that, you gotta make choices, you can't never wait for the trade you like. This trade-off should be considered I guess, even because there are different kind of bear markets, some are predictable, other depends by regulatory laws, or trade wars as the dart monkey thing. Ok today there is a new paradigm, GS employees did good during 2008 and for years after, but today Buffett is selling 85 percent of his position, but still there are legendary investors that have a considerable net worth, really they are lucky? I dare to say not

Love that, I am quite masochist.

Plus a cost opportunity benefit, you get high without expensive drugs, risking even to get some money.

but the most surprising thing was that I am developing a real cynic mentality,..

Cynicism just comes with getting old. As far as trading changing how you see things, I now look at a temperature-change chart from the weekly weather outlook and instantly see "a market", lol!

Absolutely true.

It's fascinating, on what sort of ideas, theories & hypothesis people will dwell, when trying to find out the holy grail.
All of those weirdo indicators they would develop.

And then they would use, that combined product of human intelligence and dedication on some - garbage that has no earnings.

,,It had to work, everything was in place & in order. I have no idea why the price is falling.''

Heard a story on real vision channel, how a man read over 3 000 books, related to trading/investing, and eventually - he was back to 200 MA.

Just shared some insights, of potential reasons, for op being confused on what da hell is happening to him. Social anxiety etc. The reasoning for it.

Another good thing about AMZN/WMT;
I don't have to build my library to hold 3.000 books-- look online+ find 200, or 2,000/LOL

Is one month-ish I am trading as crazy, and this got extended to my personal life.
I go to the supermarket and start to think to underappreciated products,
I start to divide my tea bags in short term and long term consumption,
not too name I see money and the economics in every transaction if I go to a retail store,
in a work meeting instead to have strong opinions as before with colleagues, I follow the trend, and find a breakout point to say some divergent(reversed) opinion,
but the most surprising thing was that I am developing a real cynic mentality,
yesterday I met a really boring person on the street and was thinking I could go away scalping our conversation, and take advantage of his boring attitude collocating him in another context.

I was not like that, is that normal?

Lol, I like your humor. Not bad.

Probably depends on the person. Most prefer it online. I like it old fashion tho, - paper books.

In the future, libraries will remains only in museums as relics of the past.

I agree. It is difficult for me to flip pages back and forth on Kindle or my Surface.
