You can read every financial book out there, watch market analysis videos, and attend fancy seminars with overpriced fees. Until you put real money into a trade and watch the market do its thing, you do not really understand investing. This game is all about experience and years of it. No book can replace that.
Every trader and fund manager who has been around long enough knows one universal truth. Someday, you will be wrong. The kind of wrong that makes you want to lie down in a dark room and rethink everything. We have all been there. I have always believed that being wrong is not the real problem, staying wrong is.
Behind the scenes, I work hard 24/7, making sure every decision is grounded in experience, not emotion. The markets never sleep and neither does my commitment to delivering results. My partners will agree that dealing with some investors is not easy.
When the performance is smooth, they nod in agreement but when turbulence hits, suddenly, they are “experts” claiming that they know more than the fund manager. Some act as if a few months of drawdowns or a longer period of volatility erase decades of experience.
Karma has nothing to do with corrections which are common even in a bull market. Most of the time, they are short-term, markets fall and then recover. However, on occasion, they turn into something much worse.
I never overpromise or underpromise anything in my work. I certainly do not sell fairy tales. Instead, I let the markets guide us accordingly.
Over multiple market cycles, our investors have achieved their financial objectives or profit targets. That proven track record is the reason my team and I have been around for so long.
