Charlie Munger’s 5 Investing Mistakes to Avoid
Munger once said, “If people weren’t so often wrong, we wouldn’t be so rich.” His point? Most investors lose money not by bad luck, but by repeating avoidable mistakes.
Here are 5 deadly errors Munger warned against:
1. Emotional investing — Letting fear or greed guide decisions leads to poor outcomes. Stick to logic, not sentiment.
2. Market timing — Trying to predict highs and lows rarely works. The real gains come from patience and long-term holding.
3. Over- or under-diversification — Too little risk spreads you thin. Too much exposure increases vulnerability. Balance is key.
4. Unrealistic expectations — Markets are volatile and unpredictable. Stick to sound businesses and ignore short-term hype.
5. Failing to learn from mistakes — Analyze losses. Accept you’re wrong sometimes. Learn and adjust.
Munger’s legacy? Master your psychology, think long term, and profit where others fail.

How to Become a Profitable Trader in 180 Days
1. Law of Large Numbers
You need at least 100 trades for your edge to show. Don’t judge your system on a few trades — results are random in the short term, meaningful in the long run.
2. Pick a Trading Style
Study different trading approaches (e.g. from Market Wizards), pick what fits you best (scalping, swing, position trading), and master it.
3. Create a Trading Plan
Answer these:
– What markets and timeframes do you trade?
– What’s your risk per trade (max 1%)?
– Entry criteria?
– Stop-loss placement?
– Take-profit logic?
4. Stick to the Plan
Execute 100 trades strictly by your plan. Start small. Don’t change rules after a few losses. Consistency is key.
5. Track Every Trade
Log entries, exits, setups, mistakes, and screenshots. This helps you spot patterns, errors, and areas to improve.
6. Check Your Edge
Use expectancy:
(Win% × Avg Win) – (Loss% × Avg Loss) – costs
If it’s positive — congrats, your system has an edge.

10 Technical Trading Rules for Consistent Success
1. Trade with the trend – Start with the weekly chart, then zoom into daily/hourly.
2. Buy dips in bull markets, short rallies in bear markets.
3. Support/resistance often hold — but early breakouts tend to fail.
4. More tests = higher chance of breakout, and levels often flip roles.
5. Trendlines are your guide — draw left to right through higher highs or lower lows.
6. Chart patterns = visual signals of potential breakouts.
7. Use moving averages for entries, exits, and trailing stops.
8. Combine MAs with RSI for better profit-taking on stretched moves.
9. 52-week/all-time highs are bullish, lows are bearish.
10. Above the 200-day MA = uptrend, below = danger zone.
Price action over prediction. Discipline beats opinion.

US–EU trade tensions simmer, but no blowup yet
