We all invest TODAY and want stocks to go up TOMORROW. The idea that the stock will decline over the next six months (for example) and then go up a lot after that isn't a persuasive argument to buy a stock.


This is actually a very valid point and one I wish I had learnt earlier. It's mentioned in the book "The Art of Execution" where there's examples of fund managers who get it "wrong" making profits and those with exceptional calls actually losing money.

Nobody invests for the stock to halve and then 10x after - mental resilience is important but not every investment has to be "tough" to go through with. It's also incredibly tough to execute such a strategy without the benefit of hindsight. You only invest in the first place because a company is undervalued today.

Timing is very important and anybody that doesn't believe it is simply delusional.
