Lately I’ve realized that I’m probably consuming way too much social media, and most of it is finance-related. My feeds are full of content about stocks, options, futures, order flow, etc. across X, Instagram, and Reddit.
The thing is, I rarely actually follow the advice from these posts. But I still find myself constantly reading, checking, and thinking about the market throughout the day.
It’s starting to feel a bit unhealthy, and honestly, I’m not sure it’s adding much value to my life or even my investing journey.
Sometimes I catch myself scrolling through finance content on the weekend and then it hits me that the market is closed and there’s literally nothing I can do with my portfolio anyway.
That realization makes me think I probably need to cut down on how much finance content I subscribe to.
Does anyone else feel like this? How do you manage the balance?
