mperament, Talent, and Treasure TIME


Te pace of life today is fast. People travel, and we are in the midst of an information explosion. Te Internet allows us to connect more easily with like-minded people. All of these advancements have allowed us to do more of the things we love and fewer of the things we’re not personally interested in.


Saving time is one of the primary reasons many investors choose to partner with experienced financial professionals. Investing takes time and attention to do it well. Te average investment position (a stock, bond, mutual fund, or ETF) requires about 30 minutes per week to evaluate its strength, consider the future of whatever industry it represents, and analyze its position within the economy as a whole. Most people can’t or simply don’t want to invest the time required to wisely manage all their individual investment holdings themselves.


TEMPERAMENT Markets react to changing information and world news very quickly.


For many investors, it can be hard to tell the difference between a short-term “blip” and a fundamental change in the economy, an industry, or even a single company. It’s easy for us to become emotional with the dramatic swings that happen all the time.


Additionally, it’s human nature to project current trends into the future: if something is going up, we think it’s going to keep going up; vice versa, if it’s going down, we think it will eventually land at zero. However, that isn’t really true. People find it hard to sell something that’s successful and hard to invest in something that is


getting cheaper due to low performance. But success with investing comes from buying low and selling high. Fighting this natural human instinct is necessary for a wise investor. Professionals have learned to be contrarian thinkers, and we’re trained to do the opposite of everybody else’s instinct when it is prudent.


TALENT


Te best money managers have a system to be successful, but beyond that, they have an instinct or intuition about when is the right time to make a move. Te decisions can’t be always left to a computer, nor can this decisive instinct really be trained. A natural gifting or knack can only be honed over years of experience and practical trial and error.
