“I'm tired. Maybe it's time for a 9-to-5 job?” I think I'm not the only one who has thoughts like this. Every fall, every new black swan, or political chess game. You just look at the numbers on the screen and think, “Maybe it's time to stop?” Especially if you're not a professional with 10 years of experience, emotions start to take over. But you're not alone. Remember: “There is no market phase that is worth leaving.” Not quite clear? Let's figure it out.

1) All markets are cyclical, no matter how complex they may be. Every decline is followed by growth. Every growth is followed by a decline. The sequence may vary, but the essence is the same. Recall the biggest market declines over the past year. For example, the announcement of tariffs in April. That was the best point to enter! Just think, at the moment when the fear index reached 3 points and everyone was waiting for a new Great Depression, you had to buy and not think about anything else. And so it happens every time: the Great Depression, stock market crashes, the COVID dump, and a hundred other events.

2) So why didn't you buy at the moment of the dump? Emotions. Your emotions, or as I like to say, your “lizard brain” got scared. That part of you decided that if everyone is afraid and the charts are falling, then they will fall even further. All the media and all the influencers were shouting, “WE'RE HEADING TOWARDS ZERO!” Now they're bullish, lol. Don't let other people's opinions or fear decide your financial matters. Our “lizard brain” knows how to find food and shelter, but it doesn't know how to decide which stocks to invest in. Use your prefrontal cortex. The rational part of yourself.
