Are you getting sick of constant stock price updates on Blossom? My feed is filled with the same 20 tickers and a snap shot of it up or down and in a rare case, some supposed reason why. Are you posting up days? Why? Are you posting down days? Why? The reality is, constant stock updates are the investing equivalent of weighing yourself every 5 minutes. Drink a glass of water. You weigh yourself. You poop, you weigh your self. 🚨🚨🚨🚨 $AMZN is down 1.0% today!!! 🚨🚨🚨 $VFV is up 1.2% today! 🚨🚨🚨🚨 $SPCX is up 5... now 6, now 4, now 3.. Okay... and so what? Investors shouldn't be tracking price movements like I see on Blossom every day. Stop. It's UNHEALTHY and leads INVESTING DISORDERS. Unless you're buying or selling today, that number is futile, vain and meaningless. What does it do? It likely grabs your attention and engagement on socials. It's likely creating an emotional response in you. And in the worst case scenario, it encourages you to confuse market ACTIVITY with PROGRESS and SUCCESS. The biggest danger is never that the market is moving... it moves every second the markets are open, year round, for all eternity. The biggest danger is YOU moving. There are countless studies on investor behavior and what makes the average retailer perform so badly. The studies show that checking stock prices every day makes it EASIER to panic, chase performance, sell low, buy high, and convince yourself that random market noise, future expected returns, analyst predictions etc is somehow meaningful to your investing success and you need to act on it. The market has rewarded PATIENCE for over a century now. Patience is a quality we all need and can improve upon. Your algo REWARDS your market anxiety with MoRE market anxiety creating content... So be careful what financial junk food you consume and what voices you surround yourself with . Your health and wealth are not rewarded buy consuming such content regularly. Stay safe out there investing friends 🙌👊
