my coworker actually does the work. real due diligence, reads the filings, trades on Fidelity with genuine conviction, posts his portfolio screenshots in our group chat like a man who knows what he's doing. because he does.
my strategy? I wait a day or two, then buy whatever he bought. that's it. that's the whole system. no research, no thesis, no reading. pure copy-paste laziness with a two-day delay because I'm too lazy to even copy him promptly.
and it's working. it's working better than the actual research I used to grind out myself. my lazy delayed knockoff of his portfolio is outperforming the version of me that had a spreadsheet and opinions.
I don't know what this says about my old research. I don't know what it says about him not noticing. I've stopped asking questions and started just watching the group chat like it's a Bloomberg terminal. not financial advice, his advice, technically
