Jax,

Just like most "rules of thumb," these types of videos don't apply to everyone. I simply cannot encapsulate every type of person and it sounds like you weren't the target audience for this video. Note that if another YouTuber I followed made a video of this sort, I'd skip it because I already feel comfortable and aware of the content. I know many people who follow a similar path to you and have been successful, but it doesn't work as general advice because many people just aren't designed to work that way.

As I said in an earlier comment here, I respect people more with the opposite opinion as mine if it is well-backed in their own thoughts rather than people who parrot my same opinion. I am happy you have a respect for me and I can say with confidence the respect is mutual. Best of luck with your investing.

Best,
CI
