1) Bad at assessing reality
2) Hugely overconfident
750 million times more complex…

“Don’t try anything fancy. Stick to a simple diversified portfolio, keep your costs down and
rebalance periodically to keep your asset allocations in line with your long-term goals.”
– Warren Buffett
“Charlie and I always knew we would become very wealthy. But we weren’t in a hurry. If you’re
even a slightly above average investor who spends less than you earn, over a lifetime you cannot help but get very wealthy – if you’re
patient.”
– Bill Bonner
“Think a lot. Do very little."
