Before you ape into any stock, ask yourself one thing:

Can I actually afford to lose this?

Not "will it moon" or "what's the upside" — those are cope questions.

The real alpha is knowing your risk tolerance. Most people don't. They chase hype, get rekt, then blame the market.

If you can't stomach a 50% drawdown without panic selling, you're already playing the wrong game.

Position size accordingly. Protect your capital. Everything else is noise.
