Yasin Ayari scores for Sweden against Tunisia. His father Azzouz is Tunisian, yet encouraged his son to represent Sweden.
Ayari initially wanted to pick Tunisia when they asked him to switch allegiance in 2021, but his father insisted on Sweden because the country “welcomed and developed him”.🇸🇪
@dannycheng2022 I feel for you, something must have happened in your life, you should take a leaf out of Cat's book and learn to be humble. All your posts really smell like something is wrong.
@efficientenzyme Also sad if you stop posting, you dont need to post trades but high times thoughts are very intresting.. either way you do what you want
I've been heavily speculating in the markets (not full time) since 1992. My first trades were before online brokerage, you had to call in for quotes and to place orders. 4% commission in AND out.
I had a great run during the DOT COM era. By 1999, I had a really chunky (for my age) portfolio and thought it was easy. By late 2000, the account was $0. That part was fun, at least. For the next 10 years I was super active, some good runs, some big drawdowns. Overall, nothing exceptional. Just decent.
Then something shifted. The need to speculate faded and that’s when things actually got better.
Once I stopped chasing it, opportunities started coming to me. Not just in trading. As I’ve gotten older and less interested in money itself, seeing opportunity has become clearer. And more than anything, removing that constant need elevated how I experience life.
This isn’t meant to be spiritual (for some it is). But for a lot of people who are active and still underperforming, it’s worth asking what purpose this is really serving.
Most of the time, it’s just a dopamine loop. And for many, it’s closer to an addiction than they would like to admit. And that could be what’s holding you back.
