Think you can get all the upside with none of the downside?
Here’s the tough love your portfolio needs: Volatility cuts both ways. That sweet +20% gain you brag about? It comes from the same market that can drop you -20%. The truth? You’re not beating the market by outsmarting it—you’re just riding the same rollercoaster as the rest of us.
Unless you know something before everyone else (you don’t), that "no downside" dream is just that—a dream. Educate yourself, embrace the ride, and stop falling for fairy tales.
