BargainValueHunter Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I keep hearing that now is not the time to be in the markets. I heard that in March 2009 and 2002. Of course, everyone just knows that now is when you buy gold and Treasuries. Why do the majority of investors keep making these same mistakes over and over? Buffett has provided the blueprint but so many people just won't follow his lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericd1 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I doubt if anything is "different this time" - The average investor studies show they typically buy high and sell low! Most folks are "wired" incorrectly to be successful in the market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogermunibond Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I don't know anyone who consistently does that, because even a blind squirrel will find an acorn once in a while. But collectively, I know someone named Mr. Market who makes a blind squirrel seem like an oracle of Delphi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
