Most retail investors overtrade, racking up taxes and fees while exhausting themselves. Real gains come from patience and conviction, staying put while others panic. Constant trading is anxiety, not intelligence.
Most people should stop overtrading. Overtrading feels like you're doing something right. It feels active, it feels intelligent. It's neither. Every trade costs you taxes, fees, and focus. And most of the time it's just anxiety and motion. The biggest gains don't come from moving fast. They come from staying put while everyone else panics. The market doesn't reward activity, it rewards patience and conviction. If you're always clicking buttons, you're not managing money, your emotions are. If you need more help with your portfolio, DM me, help.
