Filed taxes, depressing to look at my taxable losses. Even more in 401ks. Glad I made those rules, glad I stopped following furus. Eliant, Lord Fed, Jedi Ant, David Tracey, Andy Constan, Trading Thomas... all have been lousy experiences for me (tho I still respect Andy and Fed).

Proud of myself for being able to stop the madness of doubling down. Proud of myself for learning to stop out before it was too late for the rest of my savings. Sad for making poor decisions. I own that and I will always own that and carry it with me.

I am out on following any kind of furu. Will look for ideas to explore on my own on here, but this will be a reset year for me and a year of derisking into beta (limited alpha plays). I am building up savings - fortunately am well compensated - but I set myself yrs in 2023.

I don't say any of thus to put them on blast. All of my followers are bots anyway lol. I am really just being realistic with myself that I have to do this the slow way and make my own alpha choices, not lean on others.

Even guys like Citrini who make tons of money are near impossible to follow. It's just kind of useless following someone. So many stop outs, etc.

Fortunate that I am still doing great, have a wonderful family, no debt issues, all going relatively fine here. Hope my new job works out well and, we'll, now I more viscerally know even a smart guy like me can scam himself listening to people online. Don't do it.

Leaning into the Wheel with limited funds to support me getting used to options again in a sustainable manner. Most of my trades are losing rn lol, but the point is to just to run it for a while anyway and losses are small (still got premiums on sold puts).

I know ridiculous of me after my banger Andy tweet (sorry Andy), but I am ultimately still a recovering permabear. I begrudgingly admit I am bearish still (ridiculous), but I am changing how I react to that and how I consume info. Part of that is removing bias confirmation.

@Emmonspired Absolutely. And honestly, I think I just get too comfortable with too much risk when I follow smart guys like Andy who have these master acts and plays and plans. The puts purchases flow like water. Of course we are in act 3. Of course I am right. Ultimately, it's a comment on me
