At some point you're just learning these obscure, tiny edges that only other top players are thinking about. And since I didn't want to play against them there's really nothing to learn. At that point it's just a pure grind.

Word. Trading time for money, not compounding knowledge like investing.

I doubt investing ever gets boring. It's super interesting and fun learning about new things all the time. And it compounds like you say. Know enough about oil and you notice details other people don't, for example. Is ecommerce like that still?

Being a business operator is, but e-commerce is a lot like you described high-level poker had become, a lot of grinding with learning concentrated in esoteric specialization. This hack to improve search ranking on Amazon. This new FedEx program, etc.

Also, like online poker over the past decade, e-com is getting squeezed!

I considered getting into that but picked investing because I anticipated those problems. Plus, when I started with investing I could just do it 14 hours a day and it didn't even feel like work. Making games on Unity was the other candidate, another biz that scales.

When'd you make the jump from poker to investing?

Poker partnership ended in Aug 2016. Wow a long time ago. We quit because games were tougher with game theory bots. I played a little for a while after that but it was very boring alone. I began seriously studying the markets in 2017 and individual companies in April 2018.
