It’s deeply ingrained in the human psyche that taking action is a positive thing.

And in many cases, it is.

But successful investing means doing exactly the opposite.

Even if that feels wrong.

And it will.

Not weeks and months.

Why does our psychology work against us?

Particularly in capital markets?

What can we learn from the evidence presented in this video?

Successful investors are simply less active.

Their holding periods are longer.

They ignore the “noise”.

The biggest enemy of an investor?

Themselves.
