I'm one who hasn't found 2025 that easy to be honest. granted I know why I have had a terrible year and when I say this I'm down 1.5% YTD in my real portfolio. It is not like I have been destroyed, but heck I have made so many mistakes this year, I have had some bad dd, terrible timing in/out of the market, heavily invested in perhaps the worst sector this year, get out of a heavily weighted position in the financial sector before the sector take off, that lots of mistakes in 2025 for me, it may not go down on a return front, but in reality I think this will be the worst year I ever had in terms of the sheer number of blowups, mistakes, horrible timing, etc. And even with all of what I just said I have a good chance to end positive by the end of the year, hence it can't be that difficult. Yes if your not in the momo stock ls it is hard to keep up with some of those from a return standpoint, but you can make money if you don't decide to back up the truck with tactical errors like I have done in 2025. Having said that the VMI/VMIR are down so it hasn't been as bright for smaller market cap situations as a whole either. Having said that I disagree with wade this isn't impossible to make money, you just can't keep making a lot of mistakes, now if I can tell myself to stop doing that, that would be a plus. LOL. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
