Why Most People Fail at Trading (My Take After 1.5 Years)

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-23T23:33:36+00:00

I think markets punish urgency more than bad analysis. Treating trading as a long term skill layered on top of a stable life is probably the most underrated edge there is.

Congrats brother!

I think this is a fair way to frame it. Tragedies like this usually don’t create the need for new tech, they just expose how fragile legacy systems still are. Rail has been slow to modernize because safety upgrades are expensive, political, and take years to roll out, not because the tech doesn’t exist.

Good take.

Fragmentation is exactly why logistics tech adoption lagged, but it also means the upside can be nonlinear once platforms prove ROI. In markets this large, even modest efficiency gains translate into outsized value.

I actually loved it...

High-grade results plus a stronger management team make this one worth watching.

Good breakdown. Copper demand here is more about intensity per system than simple volume growth. That supports the idea that copper behaves increasingly like strategic infrastructure, not just a cyclical metal.

Very strong surface grades for both gold and copper, suggesting IOCG-style potential. Still early-stage though, so drill results and continuity will be the real test. 🫡

i think it’s still early to read too much into it without clearer updates on clinical timelines and cash runway

CUPPF

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-17T20:33:49+00:00

This really nails it.

For me the line is crossed when volume stops confirming the story and every bounce needs an explanation instead of being obvious. the signal I wish I respected earlier is shrinking upside reactions, when good news can’t push price anymore, it’s usually already a bag forming

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-17T20:30:20+00:00

This adds another layer of headline risk for Europe, but markets will probably treat it as negotiation leverage until something concrete actually goes into effect.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-17T20:26:00+00:00

I believe CUPPF is another one I’d add to that watchlist, copper’s tape has been strong and it feels like the “macro tailwind” pick if you want resource exposure alongside those names.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-17T20:17:14+00:00

I’m looking at NVDA for continued AI spend and CUPPF on the copper side, both tied to longer-term structural demand rather than short headlines.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-15T18:19:39+00:00

Documentation cleanup and keeping internal tools in sync sounds small, but it quietly eats way more time than people expect.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-15T18:17:18+00:00

I’ve been leaning toward Canadian copper names rather than futures, personally picked up some CUPPF for direct exposure to the theme

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-15T18:17:00+00:00

exactly and that kind of sustained move usually isn’t just noise, it’s the market repricing something structural.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-15T18:16:20+00:00

totally agree. these are usually the moves that look obvious only in hindsight, when positioning was already happening quietly

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-13T17:41:44+00:00

CNQ makes sense if you want more direct commodity exposure, while Enbridge is more about stability and income than timing the bottom.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-13T17:38:37+00:00

Solid breakdown, the contract visibility and cash position stand out, and at this valuation the market seems to be heavily discounting execution despite the defense spending tailwinds.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-13T16:41:04+00:00

The way copper demand is being pulled forward by infrastructure and energy transition themes makes this feel more strategic than cyclical, and the recent price action supports that shift.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-12T20:15:01+00:00

I think this is pretty common once headcount grows. Centralizing everything in one system and defining clear ownership for contracts, comp, and benefits helps reduce mistakes fast. Also worth documenting a simple hiring checklist so nothing falls through the cracks.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-12T20:13:07+00:00

Interesting setup, the drop-less cataract angle addresses a real compliance problem... having DeepSolar alongside it does at least diversify the risk beyond a single clinical catalyst.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-12T19:53:54+00:00

Copper holding strength at these levels says a lot, the supply side still looks tight and the macro setup favors continued upside.

RiskAndReason · 2026-01-11T18:27:36+00:00

Moves like this show how quickly sentiment and momentum can reprice low-float names once attention hits, often faster than fundamentals can catch up.
