13414256, I became overwhelmed with trying to learn everything.

i made a few bucks off some dumb luck smart plays.

there are so many ways to go about it. Once I learned some 101 level things, I kept learning then I realized how much more I don't know and that the real money making takes a level of commitment I don't have.

I read the Warren Buffet bio and learned what it takes to make big boy moves and I knew it wasnt for me. On a level of making substantial gains it takes a lot of work. Dude spends his waking hours just reading through every nook and cranny to find advantages hidden in plain sight.

the only rules I play by are value driven moves. no options or schemes.

However, were I on my job I would consider reading up some things, like the dry boring shit which lays a foundation.
