Debrief;
Welcome to the site! This is my space for taking notes and fleshing out thoughts on topics that interest me - essentially, my version of the Feynman technique (learning by teaching).
It is not financial, legal, marital, or any other form of advice.
Do NOT take trades or make investment decisions based on anything here.
You'll find a bunch of content on trading and investing, as well posts on psychology, mindset, and productivity.
I also write summaries of the books I find most valuable. You can find them on the bookshelf. Selfishly, I mostly highlight the parts that resonate with me - but if something clicks with you, I strongly recommend reading the full book!
