How to stop buying at the top of the market — the three signals retail investors miss every single time.

Most investors do not buy at the top because they are reckless. They buy at the top because they are doing exactly what feels logical. The stock is moving. The news is everywhere. Everyone in the group chat is talking about it. It feels like confirmation. It is actually the trap.

In this episode we break down why this keeps happening, what the research says about retail buying behavior, and the one three-part check that stops it.

What you will learn in this episode:

• Why confirmation is the trap that pulls retail investors in at exactly the wrong moment
• The institutional distribution pattern hiding in plain sight on every chart
• Why news coverage peaks at the top and what that means for your entry timing
• The three checks to run before every single entry
• How to tell the difference between a real breakout and a fading one

Marcus had been watching Nvidia for six months. He researched the company. He believed in the business. He waited for confirmation before he acted. Then he bought at one hundred and forty two dollars. Three weeks later the stock was at one hundred and twelve. He did not make an obvious mistake. He made the most common mistake in investing. This episode gives you the framework to stop making it.
