I really enjoyed this read. I also appreciate it because once upon a time, in a land far away, I tried investing. I stopped because I thought I understood investing, read reports and analysis, but always felt like I was missing something. I told myself, "I must not be smart enough to get this. Nobody else has the questions I do. They all get it. I don't. I shouldn't be swimming in this pool." The truth is, I am smart enough. Other people have questions, they just don't talk about them. I will keep reading. I may even dip a toe back into the pool. Thanks.
The honest answer is that probably very few get it; no one really fully understands why everything behaves in certain ways. The only factor we can actually control is our risk management, which is key to staying in the game. Good luck if you decide to start again, Larry.
