Dear Copiers and Followers, Having noticed a high turnover of copiers recently (some joining and leaving just a few days later) , I wanted to write this post to emphasize the importance of keeping a long-term perspective when investing in the stock market. We, retail investors, have no control over short-term volatility and should not allow it to scare us nor have us make reactive decisions which usually lead to poor results for the simple reason that 80% of the volume in the market is being controlled by algorithms which have been designed to anticipate human behavior. In the contrary, we have one important advantage over big institutions: we do not need to show a green sheet to our customers every quarter. Only by understanding it and playing the long game by investing in quality companies and leaving them enough time to grow can we beat the market. I am truly convinced that applying this strategy while copying my portfolio, accepting its volatility and embracing it (add to it on a regular basis if you can afford to leave the money there for multiple years) will enable copiers to make money, beat the market, and provide them with life-changing financial performance over the long-term.
