I was sifting through financial twitter, or “Fintwit”, as it’s known, and came across an interesting post. It posed a question along the lines of “what’s your biggest investing/trading mistake?”
As you may know, I’m fascinated by these kinds of questions. I believe that our investing behavior affects our performance much more than people realize. So wanting to see the responses, I clicked to view the comments. I thought I had an idea of what people would say. But honestly, the answers shocked me.
Nearly all the “mistakes” that people posted were along the lines of booking profits too soon or “should have held on to XYZ stock longer”.

I’m optimistic about investment prospects in 2021, but let’s take a moment to discuss the moves you
shouldn’t make in the coming year…or in
any year.
Super investor Warren Buffett once famously said: “In the short term, the market is a popularity contest; in the long term it is a weighing machine.”
What the heck did the Oracle of Omaha mean by that? Simply put, Buffett doesn’t necessarily wait for the market to eventually reward the merits of stocks; he chooses stocks according to their potential as companies. Buffett emphasizes long-term ownership of a company, not just the chance for fast capital appreciation based on market dynamics.

Today I want to tell you about an investing strategy that defies logic. It shouldn’t work based on everything you’ve learned about the stock market.
Yet it does. In fact, for over half a century, investors and traders have used this strategy to produce
unparalleled results.
And no, for those of you who may be wondering, this strategy doesn’t involve options, derivatives or any other obscure financial product.
What’s more, what I’m about to show you can be used as part of any general investing strategy regardless of whether you’re focusing on income, growth, blue chips, small caps or commodities.
