I’m not here to teach you how to be a great investor. On the contrary, I’m here to tell you why very few of you can ever hope to achieve this status.

You can read all the Berkshire letters you want, but when it comes to crunch time, the majority of people end up buying high and selling low. “You make your money during bear markets; you just don’t know it at the time.” – Shelby Cullom Davis
