# Having the wrong people around you will destroy your portfolio.Avoid these 6 at all costs.Energy Dra

Having the wrong people around you will destroy your portfolio.

Avoid these 6 at all costs.

Energy Drainer: Talks you out of good investments.

Fake Complimentor: Claps for you, secretly hopes you fail.

Pessimist: Thinks every dip is the end of the world.

Criticiser: Never invests, always judges.

Manipulator: Pushes their “can’t lose” tip…

Victim: Blames the market, the Fed, the moon, never themselves.

Surround yourself with builders, smart long term oriented investors, and keep your environment clean from the 6 types of people above.
