12 Images that contain Wisdom EVERY Investor needs to know!
1. Investing is without alternative, but the average investor is terrible at it.
Primarily, because of their behavioral biases. We will explore many of them in the following images.
2. There will always be a good reason to sell.
But your performance wouldn’t look too good then…
3. We have talked a lot about a recession lately.
For our portfolios, it’s too late already. The year before the actual recession is the worst for stocks.
The good news, if you hold onto your investments, you’ll perform pretty well pretty soon.
4. In fact, the 12 months after a bear market are likely to be among the best you ever experience.
5. Declines are no reason to worry. It’s a part of the game an investor plays.
There are many opportunities in these declines for the rational investor.
6. Do not chase the moonshots.
The difference of 1% or 2% may seem small, but a little above average is outstandingly better in the long run.
7. Chasing such moonshots often ends with a severe loss of capital.
And making up for that loss is extremely difficult.
8. Interesting, especially in the current context of the Midterms.
The market doesn’t care too much about Democrats or Republicans.
9. The market behaves like a pendulum.
It spends most time in the middle. But occasionally, it gets to the extremes.
That’s why we have cycles and volatility, no linear growth.
10. Speaking about cycles, they’re embedded in our system.
11. Saving without investing is a bad idea.
12. Time in the market beats timing the market.
Missing only a few days in the market can cause you to be the average investor we saw in the first graph.
Even worse, the rallies are unpredictable and often in bear markets where many investors stand on the sideline.
