Missing out:
Yes, missed out on most of the ai-stock boom
Yes, missed out on the energy & utilities & tech stock boom related to ai after that
Yes, missed out on quite some trades
Yes, missed out on trading in oil
Yes, missed out on countless other opportunities, recently, and in the last decade
Do i care?
No
Why not?
Because there is always plenty of opportunity. I have been playing this investing game for quite a while already and i know that if i stay calm, patient, healthy, happy, that always new opportunities will come, and that my intuition will be ready when there is a new one ready for me

i also missed a lot of opportunities during 10+ years in crypto, so many, but still, came out with huge wins as well of course. Just stay the course long enough and there is always opportunity
- So stop worrying or being sad about what you missed
- You are not alone in that
- Put yourself back together, look inside, become content, and countless opportunities to do great things in your life will appear if you have some perseverance
Recently got asked by a friend, what I meant by "Luck favours momentum" in my bio. It’s inspired by Marc Andreessen’s post, "Luck and the Entrepreneur", which outlines 4 types of luck - most of which people misunderstand. Too often, luck is dismissed as pure chance, like Chance I (Blind Luck), where something happens completely randomly - winning the lottery or being in the right place at the right time. But luck isn’t that binary, and as with most things, it’s more nuanced.
Chance II (Motion) and Chance IV (Directed Motion) highlight how momentum changes the game. Chance II is the luck you create just by staying in motion. As Charles Kettering put it, "Keep on going, and chances are you will stumble on something". Action generates opportunities, even if they’re accidental. It’s not about waiting for the perfect pitch - it’s about swinging often enough to connect. Motion creates momentum, and momentum attracts luck.
Chance IV takes it further: it’s about intentionality. This isn’t random; it’s the kind of luck that shows up because of your unique direction, instincts, and preparation. As Disraeli said, "We make our fortunes and call them fate". It’s the result of moving with purpose, guided by experience and curiosity.
The reality is, most of what we call "luck" is the product of effort, awareness, and momentum. It’s not just about being fortunate - it’s about being in motion, paying attention, and staying sharp enough to recognise opportunities when they appear.
That’s what "Luck favours momentum" really means: don’t sit still, don’t overthink - just keep moving.
Clearing up bookmarks and this came up, Worth the read to grasp the concept of why trading most often than not is based upon psychology/emotions(how you handle them) and why less is often more.
@cirnosad I hate what the arabs are doing to sunni islam, staining and constantly misrepresenting it.
However I must clarify it (I m sure you know it too) there is no distinction/caste in Islam no shia/sunni. Prophet Muhammad wasn't either he simply a God's chosen man who followed Quran.
