WINNING IN THE MARKET



It's not always about new highs and lows, bond ticks or price-to-earnings ratios. Inverted yield curves, volatility and spreads, to be sure, can be important. But they're not everything.

Sometimes it's the things one comes across outside the world of investing that makes one a better investor. Too many people keep waiting to get that last piece of information before pulling the trigger. Such is a cut from the same cloth as doing almost no homework before jumping into a position.

Who among us has not been guilty of both?

Sometimes more is less and less is more. There are no fast, hard, inviolable rules. With that in mind here is an excellent read and, if memory serves, without one mention of stocks, the market or debt ratios. Soak it in and you just might surprise yourself on your road to becoming a better investor.
