Last quarter, I shifted 30% of my auto-invest cash to a manual trading pool. Lets you keep the baseline buys but still catch the real fear or excitement in big moves.

How did those things even multiply like that? I swear I'd find one coiled in every bag, tangled in a desk drawer, and somehow two more behind the couch. Felt like a huge win dumping that drawer full of cords for old gadgets nobody owns anymore.

Sharing notes early focused the discussion on my analysis, not trivial stuff.

Totally get where you're coming from, that's how it starts sometimes. I had a thing like that with some shipping stats from a vendor last year. Once I saw one number was off, I ended up checking all their old reports and found a bunch of small errors. It actually helped me talk to them about fixing their process, lmao. Digging a little deeper usually shows you the full picture.
