Sounds like you’re great at stock pics! Maybe that’s a career path for you.

I'm 50/50 on the handful of stock picks I've made.
I got incredibly lucky joining Facebook when I did, and performing well enough to be granted discretionary equity several times early on.
The best thing I could have done was work so hard at what I'm good at - i.e. being the #1 code committer at Facebook, and get granted special stock, rather than guess on the market haha.
