I have my own opinions, but I want to understand how others feel about it, even in such a long bull market.
Some examples. Is it...
-
Losing out on big gains (e.g. not buying Amazon)
-
Difficulty understanding all the financial instruments (Roth, 401K, taxes, etc)
-
Difficulty identifying winners vs. losers in stock market
-
Not being able to time the market
-
Difficulty understanding fundamentals and metrics (e.g. what does a P/E of 20 really mean?)
For me personally, I find it difficult to have true confidence in my investments. This comes from a lack of industry insider knowledge about market strategy, as well as benchmarking their financial numbers against other players in the same space.
