Do less, make more.

"When it comes to predicting the market, the important skill here is not listening, it’s snoring. The trick is not to learn to trust your gut feelings, but rather to discipline yourself to ignore them."

September 11th 2017 was the day when I put $120 into a brokerage account and since then it’s been a(n actual) rollercoaster.

I was in my last year of my economics undergrad with the notion that I understood the market due to a formal exposure to it.

But knowledge compounds the same way money does — the more years in the game the better.

And the biggest takeaway over the years would be the emphasis of “sitting on your hands”.

Dramatic news headlines mixed with conflicting advice from every direction makes this harder to accomplish — but it’s essential to your success.

Stop thinking you can hide from pullbacks and corrections.

Timing the market is a fool’s game and you’ll lose every time.

A list of stocks I sold and the price to date*:

• Square ($SQ): $69 — now $145

• Fiverr ($FVRR ): $24 — now $127
