Compounding is amazing. Just 3 months into the year I'm having one of my best returns. That's because instead of arguing with the market, I made an adjustment and took what it was offering, and that allowed for rapid turnover that can add up pretty fast if you are concentrated.
Short term trading is what has worked best in this market. Until I see an alternative working better, I'm going to stick what is working like a charm.

The word is sacrifice. You are not going to be the best at day trading, swing, value and growth investing. It will be amazing if you can master just one. And you only need one. So pick one and sacrifice the rest! There is no other way unless you want to suck at a bunch of things.
What is the single unavoidable thing you must do to be the best or great at one thing? One word?
