(1/17) "The new fear and greed" by @reformedbroker. The laws of wealth creation haven't changed, but more than ever, it's driven by envy now.
It's about FOMO and gloating over "I told you so"s for every right decision.😏
Avoid the "us vs them" game. 🚫

(8/17) "Apes, rocks & the future of finance" by @DaveNadig.
Too much to unpack.
Mind-blowingly comprehensive! 🀯
Bottomline: It's ok to be in the NFT game, but it's also ok to wait till it gets stability. People didn't dive head-first into ETFs either. 🀷

A short memo that hits hard.

(11/17) "Why fund returns are lower than you might think" by @AmyCArnott1.
No, it's not fund fees.
It's about how funds look at the total money in the fund, but you need to look at your investment that changes with time. πŸ“Š
And how you can deal with it.

(12/17) "Invest like a pronghorn" by @breakingthemark.

Short, succinct message.
