Why does trading stocks and crypto now feel like playing a game of hot potato? First, you need to grab enough chips in the first round, then cash out your principal, keep selling along the way, and when the hype reaches its peak, you better run—otherwise, you'll be left holding the bag . But this 'game' seems to have been going on for a long time. I remember last year when I switched to U.S. stocks. When the market dropped, everyone complained, but later it bounced back, and suddenly the 'noise' quieted down a lot. Hopefully, after this round, the 'noise' will stay quiet too, so I can enjoy xdm's stocks. P.S.: I'm still above water, but after a series of moves, I'm almost underwater now.
