I've never taken the time to step back and take a sober assessment of my investing journey to date. This year, I did and wrote a piece on some lessons learned. The snapshot below shares some of the highlights, and you read the full piece [here](https://investorsperspective.substack.com/p/a-reflection-on-time-in-the-market) if interested.

Appreciate the support and hope the new year is treating everyone well. Cheers.

These are very valuable posts for young, highly-engaged investors who are starting out.
It's natural for most active retail investors to spend several years on experimentation until they find their groove.  Investors need to experience at least 1 full market cycle (bull & bear) to really get a feeling on what's going to work for them.
We consider our first 10 years to be an experiential learning period before we found our groove.  That groove will be different for everyone and it may also evolve with age (investor preferences can change as they progress through their life stages).  Young investors should expect a journey with regular periods of self-reflection and a few minor course-corrections.
Thank you for sharing.
