Why the Best Investment Opportunities Are to Be Found Where No One Is Looking!
A pattern you'll see time and time again in the investment world is that most investors chase what's already working.
They pile into the hottest stocks—the Nvidias, the Palantirs, or the Apples—, the strongest sectors (right now that’s AI), and the trendiest investment themes.
But by the time an idea becomes popular, the biggest gains have often already been made.
“Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.” Warren Buffett
The real winners—the investments that produce outsized returns—are usually found where no one is paying attention—the investments that “have hair on them.”
By the time the crowd notices them and realizes that the pessimism was maybe overdone, it’s often too late. The opportunity has by then already been priced in.
So why don’t more investors go against the grain?
The simple answer: fear and/or lack of courage.
