Many people attribute their losses to the market.

The market is too fast, too volatile, and there are too many news.
But when you truly calm down and review, you'll realize a fact:

will naturally begin to smooth out.
Remember this one point,
the market won't rush you,
and opportunities won't disappear.
What you truly need to be cautious of,
