Yes it is a personal definition for sure Divs.
A personal reflection might shed light on that definition, and also maybe give some hope to those that had a "bad" year, lol.
I literally left at least $150K on the table last year that I could have taken off the table in 2023.
My life right now would be immensely better if I had made better decisions last year ....
My fault, and I take full responsibility for those bad decisions. (important)
I dabble in the Spec end of the market, but still have the propensity to fall in love with a Stock's "story". (great if you are correct)
Personally I am getting better at cutting the losers, and probably also saved $40K while losing the other $150K, lol ... ie. It could have been worse!
So on a personal note, 2025 will be better if I stop making dumb decisions, and (hopefully), claw back a bit of the 2024 losses!
Cheers and have a great Christmas break.
