Slightly different format than usual given quieter time-of-year: focusing on some of the more timeless charts of the ChartStorms of the past year or so... 🤓🧐🤔
1. Plenty of folk out there telling you to buy and hold and dollar cost average and focus on the long-term
Which is all well and good, but just be mindful that lost decades are actually relatively common...
Yes it's out of date, but the key takeaway is that overall longer term -- the trend is your friend. But also note the cycles around the trend (the cycle is an active investors best friend!).
(just my own personal rules, but I think they make sense so encourage others to use as they see fit)
1. Give credit to the source if you share a chart
try to source it to the original creator if possible
1.1. if you got the chart off twitter then @ the source's twitter handle (either in the tweet e.g. h/t @... or at least as a reply to the tweet if you can't squeeze it in)
[of course you can just QT/RT, but sometimes it does make more sense to share the chart in a new tweet]
