How To Be Good And Great Investors???

Read? Short money rules

If we strongly believe the truth of the combination :

3. Good investing is 50% psychology, 48% history, 2% finance.

AND

“Superior investors are people who have a better sense for what tickets are in the bowl, and thus for whether it’s worth participating in the lottery. In other words, while superior investors — like everyone else — don’t know exactly what the future holds, they do have an above-average understanding of future tendencies.”

– Howard Marks, Mastering the Market Cycle


Good investing is 48% history and above-average understanding of future tendencies.

Is that simply mean we should be waiting most of the time for market cycles to turn into opportunities to deploy larger war chest?

4 Great investing is 40% skill, 20% luck, 40% inability to tell which is which.


You should already have that 40% skill if you are good investor!

What you need is that 20% luck!

Think hard!
