Trading teaches you the most about life.
Revenge makes the situation worse.
Emotions sabotage your decisions.
Learning to lose gracefully is a superpower.
Patience and timing beat speed every time.
For black people to still be saying in 2026 that we don't have access to information to know which stocks to buy is nuts 😂
Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, YouTube, X, TV, etc. Information is literally unlimited now it's on you to do the research and form an investment thesis.
Smart traders look stupid for years before they look successful.
- 3 years of losses
- Library job at $15 an hour
- Friends with careers and stability
I looked like the dumb one.
First million at 23.
Stay stupid a little longer. It's worth it.
"Trading is a scam."
No.
The real scam is:
- 12 years of school
- 4 years of college
- $200k in debt
- a job you hate
- a salary that barely covers rent
