One big piece of investing success is investor personality. We live in a neighborhood of highly educated people. Some of these neighbors were selling all their stocks at the March 2009 bottom … some were doing a lot of buying. If you accept the notion that “if your investment horizon is ten years or more, it doesn’t matter when you invest” then you’ll have a remarkably different result than if you believe “the market is cyclical, and within cycles it goes up and down.”

Bottom Line: Bad companies can be good investments … and good companies can be bad investments. Process is EVERYTHING when it comes to a stock portfolio.
