If that's what you're asking.
You know there is a difference between investing and trading (speculating).

I invest my money in stocks that provide a deep value opportunity, in fairly concentrated positions. I completely ignore bullsh*t hype that most retail investors flock to without thinking. Everyone's buying unprofitable 3D printer companies with no revenue? I'm happy to sit that out.

I buy things that people are afraid to buy, which is why they're >50% cheaper than they should be. I keep a decent pile of cash on the side to use when others are fearful, which presents opportunities. People aren't fearful right now, which is why I've got more cash sitting around than usual. But these things work in cycles, so patience is key.

At the end of the day, it's more about mental fortitude than analytical accuracy. I'm doing my homework but benefiting from others' emotions as much as anything else.

My job is as an analyst in a billion-dollar fund that makes being that aggressive more difficult - which is why I pursue deep value with my own money instead.
