9. It’s Never a Market Crash Problem

It’s almost always an –

• I don’t know who I am problem
• I don’t know how much pain I am willing to take problem
• I don’t have the patience to give my stocks time to grow problem
• I bought on the tip of that popular social media influencer and did not do my homework problem
• I did not diversify well problem
• I bought the stock just because it dipped problem
• I cannot resist my friends getting rich problem
• I love to fall in love with my stocks problem
• I cannot differentiate between stock price and intrinsic value problem
• I suffer from a buy at any price problem
• I borrowed to invest problem
• I invested the money I needed soon problem
• I don’t have time on my hands to see through market cycles problem
• I trade too much and too often problem
• I keep watching and worrying about stock prices problem
• I will watch the market and my portfolio again after reading this post problem

And so, I must remind myself this at all times –

A market crash is ‘never’ the problem. ‘I’ am the problem, and I must sort myself out, because that is only what I control. And if I can control the ‘I’ better, a market crash will never be a problem.
