A few months offline - clarify priorities

I just wanted to let you know that I will be withdrawing from the forum for a few months or uninstalling the app for this time.


The reason is simple: I'm writing an important exam in about four to six months and would like to consciously shift my focus elsewhere during this time. I've also realized that I'm extremely FOMO-driven. Of course, this is ultimately my own responsibility, but it has become very clear to me that this is simply not good for me in the long term.


Because of all the good stock ideas here, you constantly feel like you have to be everywhere. This is exactly what leads to me not implementing my own plans properly. Instead of a clear structure (e.g. 30 % $BTC (+1.38%) , 30 % $CSPX (-0.01%) , 40 % individual shares), I end up with eight or nine individual shares simply for fear of missing out. And I'm increasingly realizing that this is not the way that works for me.


That's why I'm now making a conscious cut, focusing on learning, bringing in structure and gaining distance.

Thank you all for the time, the cool comments and the exchange 🙏

We might see you again at the beginning of winter, maybe even with a small portfolio update.


Until then, all the best and successful investments! 🚀

Everyone has to gradually find their way to the portfolio that feels right for them. I'm getting more and more to the point where I'm happy with my portfolio.
I wish you every success with your exam 🤞🏼

Please come back again. And good luck with the exams

will you sell your positions until then and then restart or will you just let it continue until then?

I think we are all looking forward to your return! And I think 80% here know and share the FOMO problem (I have to discipline myself every week... and still don't manage it 100%).
Find someone to approve your buys as soon as you get back! It's really rare that the buy has to be done within minutes to catch the train.
Good luck with your exams! Human capital is your biggest lever under 40!!!

Good luck with your exams and finding your way. It can't hurt to take some time out to "recalibrate" 😌

See you then 👋🏽
