probably not the best frame given natures morality emotional scape of positive emotion (livelihood) and death/grief (negative) emotion may not be the best metric to judge your investment decisions on.

Your question is largely based on your own psyche though so id say you should learn/ask better questions. id discern after first pass youre after emotional volatility. In that case go do drugs and then have a come down, youll get the same effect if not better if youre not decoupling these things from an investment process.

any style fits this criteria if you're not delivering lmao

because how could you not shit your pants knowing you're underperforming, won't get another role, and won't raise another fund

so choose one you're good at otherwise every day will feel like life or death
