Combine this all and what you get is:
-- you cannot pick stocks, no one does successfully and if they think they do, they're likely deluding themselves (imo Warren Buffet is an i-banker, not an investor in the way that normies think of themselves as investors) // corollary: TA is a religion.
-- pick a strategy you will stick with (e.g. conviction is king, even if it means your strat has built in 'outs')
-- sell a not-sexy product/service to a demanding, under-served audience (I'll coin "Ugly B2B")
-- trial everything that you can in life
-- build downside protection into your life (can be investing strategy but generally skills-based resilience)
