Don't mistake a bull market with brilliance. ~ old adage
Our investments are doing well this year. Since April 2025, the market has advance significantly and has pulled up most of our investments. Some individual stocks have had 500% gains in the 3 months that I've owned. (I wish I had bought more or maybe FOMOed.😎)
I used to think I was brilliant, but not anymore. I'm benefiting from an awesome bull market, where most stocks go up. If I'm getting tremendous returns, it's mainly because of luck, not brilliance.
IMHO, brilliance is when I can stay invested through the next downturn, and even add more funds to take advantage of the dip. To do that, I'm adjusting my investments to deliver steady income even in the instance of high volatility. If I can do that, then maybe I can claim being brilliant.
Until then, I continue to sell off individual stocks, tax efficiently and profitably, and prepare to buy VOO and MGK index ETFs during the next market decline.
