I totally agree! The biggest challenge retail investors need to overcome is actually their own emotions.

Usually, when the stock market falls, all kinds of negative news follows. It's not because there wasn't any before, but because during a decline, people are more inclined to look for reasons, and such articles or information spread more easily. The same is true when the market rises.

Friday's rally was also very strong. Among the Magnificent Seven, only Microsoft failed to break through its long-term resistance level, while the other six all stood above their long-term resistance levels. This creates greater momentum, and if no external factors disrupt it, the momentum is likely to continue next week.

However, since I had already used up all my cash to add to my positions at the end of March, I decided to reduce some of my positions yesterday to free up some cash to deal with more possible situations. 😂. This way, whether the market goes up or down next week, I can lock in some profits.
