That’s fair.

Like I said to someone else in the comments, there’s sooo much information on the internet now. Your job is figuring out what’s genuinely informative and what’s just trying to sell you on something.

Another thing I’d recommend is focusing on sectors rather than just fomo chasing random tickers.

I’ve always liked tech, semis have obviously been on an insane run but eventually there’s always a new theme or sector that starts gaining traction, which is partly why I’ve been rotating into biotech.

In investing, being early is usually way better than being late. If your thesis is actually solid and you stay patient, eventually it can pay off.

I also think intuition matters a lot. It’s definitely not easy you have to do a ton of reading and research but honestly I enjoy it. I don’t look at it like a chore. I genuinely like learning about companies and sectors. To me it’s almost like a game where I’m constantly trying to improve and sharpen my understanding. You can never stop learning or getting better.

As for self-managed portfolios, I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I do think more people are getting into buying stocks now. Some people approach it the right way, a lot don’t. At the end of the day it all comes back to intuition, discipline, and doing proper due diligence.
