📢 One day, a new investor walks into a bar and sits at the counter. Next to him sits a seasoned, experienced investor sipping whiskey.
The newcomer, proudly: "I just invested all my money in a new cryptocurrency! It's going to skyrocket, I'm sure!"
The seasoned investor, not taking his eyes off his glass: "I see. Do you know the difference between an investor and a pilot?"
The newcomer, puzzled: "No, what is it?"
The seasoned investor, with a slight smirk: "A pilot knows when he will fly. An investor only knows when he is already flying. Or falling."
Meaning: The joke highlights the uncertainty and unpredictability of investing, especially in high-risk assets. An experienced investor knows that predicting the future of the market is nearly impossible, and success or failure often only becomes clear in hindsight.
