At the beginning everything feels simpler than it really is. You read a couple of books, check a few charts, two or three trades go your way and suddenly you feel like β€œyou’re getting it”. That stage is dangerous. Not because you’re careless on purpose, but because you still can’t see the complexity behind everything. Psychology calls this the Dunning Kruger effect. When you know little, you tend to overestimate what you know. Once you know more, you start seeing your limits and confidence drops. And only after a long time does a different kind of confidence appear, calmer, quieter. As we evolve as investors, it’s normal to face more doubts. It’s not a step backwards; it’s simply that you start noticing details that once went unnoticed. You stop accepting quick explanations and you review things you previously took for granted. That increase in questions isn’t insecurity, it’s depth, and it’s usually a sign that you’re moving in the right direction. Investing is a constant learning process, but you also have to avoid β€œanalysis paralysis”. Reviewing helps, but doing it excessively can block decisions that were already clear. And from my point of view, overthinking tends to be negative in almost every area of life because it pushes you toward inaction. It’s far more useful to know your strengths, your limits and how you make decisions under pressure than trying to think through everything. When that personal piece is clear, analysis flows better and decisions too. Personally, I believe that if we want to be good investors and consistent over time, we have to keep learning, always. And in this world full of nuances, changes and unexpected moments, stopping your own development is almost like disconnecting from reality. In the end, we have to remember that what’s at stake is our money and our future, and the better we handle it, the closer we’ll be to achieving goals that today still feel like dreams. Following this idea, I wanted to share something I believe can genuinely help you. It’s a free course created by Noely MΓ©ndez, an investor recognized by several Rankia awards. The course is called β€œEl origen del inversor”, it’s several hours of content on YouTube made completely altruistically, and honestly I find it more useful and complete than many paid courses out there. I’ll leave the link in the first comment if you want to take a look. And if it helps you, support him. He deserves it. $ETH $SILVER $SPX500 $MSFT (Microsoft) $AAPL (Apple)
