Individual investors' freedom
As a factor moving stock prices, the idea that the so-called "popularity" element has a large influence is the background of market-technical theories that focus only on stock prices, but the fact that individual investors cannot gain an advantage with fundamental analysis should be taken seriously as well.
In fundamental analysis, individual investors cannot beat the experts. The standards of analysis, the quality of information sources, the speed of information... in every aspect you will inevitably lose.
This is an obvious weakness for individual investors. Therefore, the correct approach is to compete somewhere else, to employ a trading method that leverages your strengths.
Poor fundamental analysis leads to injuries. Then the idea is to simply focus on price.
If you ignore society’s noisy chatter as if saying "not again," you can still have an unexpected impact on the market, surprises from moves you didn’t anticipate... such cases aren’t zero, but even if you only watch prices, in the worst case you’ll just be a little slow to react.
In reality, you can liberate yourself from unnecessary fundamental information and escape the flood of information that does not lead to solid forecasts. It’s simple!
The strengths of individual investors are"doing what you enjoy" and "being able to take breaks"these two, I believe.
Professionals who are connected to organizations face constraints on the scope and methods of trading. Also, they are not allowed to foreground personal preferences.
If you insist on unutterable things and stay away from taking positions like "this isn’t my market right now," you’ll soon lose your seat.
By contrast, individual investors can choose the market they like and the method they prefer.
And if you feel it’s not to your liking, you can take a break without worrying about anyone—i.e., you are allowed to watch the market with no position.
This is the greatest "weapon" that individual investors have.
Even if you do short-term trading, you don’t need to do it every week or every month.
Since individual investors act alone, all profits go into their own pockets.
If you take a break and profits go down, that’s fine; think of it as paying a little overhead, nothing to worry about.
Conversely, by avoiding odd losses, you can calculate that you can "feel like taking a break actively, and that’s just right."
In any case, even if you do nothing for six months, no one will complain. You can act freely, proudly, independently, based on your own thinking—that’s the strength of individual investors.
There are always opportunities for profit, so you keep going... this might be a mindset that disrupts balance. To broaden your perspective and discover something important, here is a proposal to imagine such things.

【Is it really true?】 Give away the head and the tail
Give away the head and the tail — not aiming to buy at the lowest price or sell at the highest, but to take the middle and give away the ends to others; this is a cautionary saying. From this saying, I considered how buying and selling and trading should be practiced.
