    The Monkey That Beat Wall Street

    Miglior citazione da The Monkey That Beat Wall Street

    “

    The real insight isn't about outsmarting the market—it's about accepting that you can't, and then building systems that protect you from your own psychology. You don't need to be smarter than the market; you need to be more disciplined than your emotions.
