Hey Leigh,

Any idea what the problem might be? I am eager to keep going through insight but want to be able to journal my progress on the forum.

Best!

I get the same 404 error message on both Safari and Chrome

Send me a private message I can better explain there.

Both I suppose,

I guess I am also wondering if I should trust what I see when it comes to those “infield” videos?

Hey Guys,

Just to update my journal real quick, I have started insight and it really is an awesome program so far. Just finished the first part and am slowly making my way through it.

I have recently been focusing a-lot on self love and self compassion. Really trying to learn to love and validate myself from within so that nothing externally can really have an effect on me. Meditation has helped me a ton with this as has journaling and starting a gratitude practice.

One things has been bothering me a bit and it has to with PUA. My friends keep talking about these gurus on youtube who show infield videos of them picking up very attractive women. I have not really found much satisfaction in PUA because I think it focuses on the wrong things (what you do as opposed to who are you). But I still need a bit of convincing from someone who has maybe tried this out, some re-affirmation that what I am thinking is correct?

Do these gurus actually do that stuff? or are they just playing the numbers game and selecting their best clips?

 

Best,

David

Hey Leigh,

Day trading it definitely different than index funds. I was just saying that in general passive investing through index funds and ETF’s is the best place to put your money.

In my experience and from what I have read/seen — day trading and especially technical analysis don’t produce returns any better than passive investing and very often result in investors loosing a lot of money. I could go into more details but the book “Random Walk Down Wallstreet” explains it better than I ever could.

Hey Leigh,

I would be really careful with day trading and especially technical analysis (does not really work).

Don’t forget that if you are day trading/trying to beat the market you are competing with Hedge Funds and Investment Firms that have significantly more capital, lower transaction costs, faster computers, quants (PHD’s in mathematics , CS, Physics) and advance algorithms to spot patterns and they more often than not still fail to produce alpha.

I recommend you read  “random walk down wall street” https://www.amazon.es/Random-Walk-Down-Wall-Street/dp/0393330338 .

He explains this topic much better than I could in a blog post. Also take a look/listen to Warren Buffet – He talks a-lot about passive and index investing.

Best, David
