Everyone wants to get rich quick. Who wouldn’t like to make a fast buck? Well, people that reach for the fast gains end up with fast losses. But if they invested in quality assets (stocks of solid, profitable companies, for example), the gains can materialize over a longer period of time. Had you bought quality stocks just before the crash of 2008 or, more recently, the ugly crash during the pandemic crisis of spring 2020, your positions looked ugly in the short term. But in due course, if you chose wisely, those stocks would have risen, and you’d see the hoped-for gains.

In a nutshell, I think impatience has been the greatest “personal” problem among investors in this decade. I’m not just saying this for long-term investors; it also goes for traders and speculators. Very often, that investment or speculative position you underwent may go down or sideways for what seems like forever. Sooner or later, if you chose wisely, others notice it, too, and the payoff can then be swift and impressive. Flip to Chapter 14 for tactics to help you in the short and long term.
