I used to think I was smart.  

I’d buy low and sell high, right?

  Nope. Usually, I was dead wrong.   I lost money. I lost sleep. I lost confidence.   Then, I stopped.   No more timing the market. No more guessing what’s going to happen next.   Just… buy a small amount of stock each week. The same amount. On the same day.   The price doesn’t matter.   It’s mind-numbingly boring. But it has made me more money than my clever “timing” strategies.   No more stressing about downturns. No more FOMOing during upswings.   I just keep buying. And I keep holding.   My portfolio is growing, not because I’m a Wall Street genius.   Because I’m not trying to be a genius. I’m just buying stocks consistently.
