Here are 7 Investing Lessons from the $7 Trillion Man👇
1. Reversion to the Mean
“Don’t think the past is prologue, it rarely is. Sometimes it’s anti-prologue.”
All extreme deviations from the mean will be short-term.
Over- and underperformance, eventually, they reverse to their mean.

2. Leverage Time in the Market
Great wealth is built by compounding.
Two things should be your primary focus.
1. Start as early as you can.
The longer you invest, the larger the leverage of time.
2. Never interrupt the process.

Not investing is the biggest risk people can take.
Without earning a sufficient return on one's capital, it’ll certainly lose value over time.
There’s no equal alternative to participating in the markets.

4. Research Right and Hold Tight
Most people aren’t traders by choice.
Their research before establishing a position is insufficient.
Thus, small changes in price and rather unimportant news are intimidating enough to panic-sell.
Best Protection: Extensive Research

5. Forget the Needle, Buy the Haystack
Speaking about index funds.
Very few investors succeed with stock-picking (we are the exception, of course😉).

6. Expectations
The historical return for stocks as an asset class is about 7%.

7. Inactivity is Hard but Necessary
You’re bombarded with news every day.
You’ll hear that everything will go south thousands of times. The same goes for bullish news.
Remaining unaffected by this has been the most profitable thing to do historically.
Stay the course.
