financial crisis hits it goes all the way down to three dollars a share i am telling you just from empirical observations it doesn't work i've seen it work once in a while which is the worst thing that can possibly happen to somebody and what that does ryan is it turns a temporary loss into a permanent loss i think the biggest investment virtue that somebody can have is patience your portfolio is a fingerprint of your personality it really is
Yeah.
What a great place to start, Ryan.
Thank you.
And I agree with you pretty strongly about people are living in, shall we say, alternate realities, right?
I have a pretty strong viewpoint that social media is a cauldron for cooking up those alternate realities.
But let's not go down that rabbit hole, at least not just yet.
I think I want to start with the punchline, which is you can study what works and what doesn't work.
And let me give you an example from the world of investing, which is where I live.
There are many stories that you can look out again on social media and you can see these people who look like they've made it rich quick.
Generally speaking, that doesn't happen.
OK, making it rich quick is very much the exception.
And when it happens, it happens in the world of investing by taking on gargantuan amounts of risk.
that almost randomly work out.
So in terms of something that I very, very passionately believe, and this is a core truth of investing, that if somebody wants to say to answer your question, what can they do?
It matters that you stay in the market.
not try to time the market, not try to say, hey, I think the conflict with Iran is going to end on this date and that's when I'll get invested.
But then we've got the elections coming up and I'll get out a week before that.
I am telling you just from empirical observations, it doesn't work.
I've seen it work once in a while, which is the worst thing that can possibly happen to somebody.
