Retail investor: I'm always in & out. Gotta stay active to make money in this market.


Me: How's all that activity working out?
Retail investor: I'm busy for sure. Returns are kind of meh though.
Me: Because activity isn't progress. There isn't deals every single day worth capitalizing on...
Retail investor: But doing nothing feels lazy...
Me: Doing nothing on great companies is the hardest & most profitable thing in investing. I make ONE good decision & let it compound for months/years.
Retail investor: So less trading, more holding?
Me: The best investors are barely doing anything. They own the right things & let time work for EPS to grow.
Don't confuse being busy with making money...
Do less. Own great companies. Do options when it makes sense.
Let time do the heavy lifting.
