Do you consider yourself an expert in your field? If so, you’re not an expert! I’m sorry to say. 🙂 Real experts don’t call themselves experts. Why?

In this blog post, link below, they explain this in plain and simple way. Expertise takes decades. Expertise takes improving your expertise, daily. Expertise takes self-guidence. Do you still consider yourself an expert? 🙂 “Be. Sexy. Learn. Forever.” ReferenceHow to Be An Expert, The Trizle blog

Sell in May, and Buy back in November! I think this is true this year. I feel like we’re due for a correction. It might be a good time now, especially after the recent records.
