It seems to me that investing in the markets (which is what I assume you're question is about) means playing in a domain with stacked power laws. When markets are normal, you can spread your investments across many startups and win, but when a crash occurs in the overall market(s), you lose. So timing is everything, but every investment advisor will tell you that you cannot win by trying to time your trades. Obviously the flash traders feel differently, but they're still subject to the overall crash, no matter how well they are hedged.

No it's not related to trading, although I do retail trading sometimes but this time I took a bet by leaving my cushy tech job as a software engineer to pursue building something on my own and now it has been a few months and I have realised that my job was something that gave my life a routine and purpose, without it I feel a bit lost and my time is mostly wasted in overthinking.
