So the funny part about today is that in all of my accounts that just does the slow and steady drip drip drip index funds
(401k, IRA, Roth IRA, kid’s 529, and my after tax Vanguard account), they are all up a decent amount.

On the other hand, my brokerage account, which I use to actively trade some stocks thinking it *might* beat the market, is down $1000.. Fortunately, it’s only $170k in that account….I would like to think my stock picking skills can consistently beat the markets, but they can’t….

Sure glad I don’t even try to put all my eggs in that account thinking I’m smarter than the markets all the time.
