0 Positions Left + The problem with comparing

As the competition comes to an end soon, I've closed all my positions, a +7.7% gain in 1 week is pretty good in my opinion, closing at rank #9 as of writing. I don't know if my rank will stay or change, but lets see what happens tomorrow.

I would also like to share with everyone some observations I've made throughout my investing journey.

Often than not, the funny thing I see in investments in real life is the problem of comparing. "BROOOO, did you buy XX? I ALL IN last week and made 100k!!!!" or things like "Huh, you only make 1%?"

The problem with investing/trading is that comparing will just make you feel lousier, and by hearing opinions, it might even lead to FOMO, causing you to buy at all time highs or sell at all time lows and you're the one that's bagholding. Focus on what's infront of you, will the person you're comparing to bail out your losses? Go at your own pace and perhaps even develop your own strategy. Comparing just makes the whole thing very competitive/senseless in my opinion.

Go at your own pace and grow your savings slowly. Investments are a long journey and not meant to be a sprint.

All the best everyone!
