The Danger

Let me tell you a funny story about how being too humble in the stock market can actually kill your portfolio.

I was at a big investing event hosted by Mr. A—this guy is an OG in the industry, a legend, and a die-hard Warren Buffett fan. The whole event, he kept hammering on the Benner cycle (some market timing theory), saying the stock market always goes up.

“Screw the bears and short-sellers!” he proclaimed confidently.

I sat there thinking, What the hell is this guy talking about?

I mean, just look at the market—it was insanely overvalued! But because he was a big shot, I got affected.

So what did I do?

I YOLO-ed into some Amazon call options—right at the peak.

Fast forward, and yeah… let’s just say those calls aren’t looking too hot right now.

And that’s when I realized:

Sometimes, being too humble in the stock market will kill you.

Just because someone is big, old, and reputable doesn’t mean they’re always right.

At the end of the day, you have to trust your own judgment and valuation. Because when you let someone else’s conviction override your own logic, you might just end up buying the top.
