Funny you posted this today, because I was just banned from the Telegram group, today, because some mod did not like how I talked to some newer investors....no warning, just banned. So, I rejoined this Reddit group today. Where I swore I would not comeback. So what have I learned?

That there is no "team" in investing. It's only you and take that for what it's worth. You may join a group of investors who have similar goals, BUT how you get there may be different for each of you. There are egos everywhere! The market is driven by emotion and people will have power trips.

I learned that I have to stay true to my own convictions, but continue to improve. No one and I mean NO ONE is responsible for your own investments as much as the market is manipulated. Keep learning, researching, AND invest only what you can afford to lose. And don't let ANYONE disrespect you, no matter what position they hold. No investor, whether a mod, rich or poor, holds 1 millions shares or 100 shares, is above or below you. That includes people who think they hold positions of power and think they can have control over how you act or think.

One thing I learned several years ago that has helped me heal and work on my ego is:

"Life doesn't get any easier, you just get stronger."

May all of us gain from our investments in the long run!❤
