Quote for the Week
“The problem isn’t that investors never learn a lesson. It’s that they learn the wrong lessons…. Every investing craze turns out to be another iteration of the same old story: the quest for the Holy Grail of high returns at low risk with no work. In the 1980s and early 1990s, it was mutual funds run by active managers. In the mid-1990s, it was emerging markets. In the late 1990s, it was internet stocks. In the early 2000s, it was real estate. Then it was ‘inverse’ funds that benefit from falling markets. Next it was private alternatives, then cryptocurrency, NFTs, and SPACs. The quest for the investing Holy Grail is always futile. To earn higher-than-average returns, you must take extra risk and you must commit additional time and effort. You’re kidding yourself if you think there’s a shortcut.” —Jason Zweig
