    .@WarrenBuffett once said, “What the wise man does in the beginning, the fool does in the end.” This tells you 80% of what you have to know about #MarketCycles and their impact. I consider this the number-one piece of #investment wisdom. –HM

    Once an asset has doubled or tripled in price, many people feel stupid and are envious of those who’ve profited. My favorite quote on this subject is from Charles Kindleberger, “There is nothing as disturbing to one’s well-being and judgment as to see a friend get rich.” –HM

    There are three ingredients for success – aggressiveness, timing and skill. If you show enough aggressiveness at the right time, you don’t need that much skill. #MasteringTheMarketCycle

    In late 2008/early 2009, an investor needed only two things to make a lot of money: money to invest and the nerve to invest it. If he had those two things, he made a lot of money in the years that followed. #MasteringTheMarketCycle

    Always try to understand the implications of what’s going on around us. When others are recklessly confident and buying aggressively, we should be highly cautious; when others are frightened into inaction or panicked selling, we should become aggressive. #MasteringTheMarketCycle

    People who are successful run the risk of overlooking the fact they were lucky, or that they had help from others. In #investing, #success teaches people that making money is easy, and that they don’t have to worry about risk – two dangerous lessons. #MasteringTheMarketCycle

    #Investment success is hard to replicate because it can be cyclical rather than serial. One success may make a second one less probable. As Henry Kaufman put it, “There are two kinds of people who lose a lot of money: those who know nothing and those who know everything.” –HM

    Do you ever wonder why the U.S. economy doesn’t just grow at 2% or why the stock market doesn't return 10% every year? In my view, the main reason for the cyclicality is the involvement of people. Here's why: bit.ly/2OBK7B6 #MasteringTheMarketCycle

    People’s decisions have great influence on economic, business and market cycles. In fact, economies, business and markets consist of nothing but transactions between people. And truthfully, people don't make their decisions scientifically. #MasteringTheMarketCycle

    People often act as if companies that are doing well will do so forever, and investments that are outperforming will outperform forever and vice versa. Instead, it’s the opposite that is more likely to be true. Learn more in #MasteringTheMarketCycle at masteringthemarketcycle.com.
