📢 Three investors are walking down the street: a beginner, an intermediate, and an experienced one. Suddenly, they see a hundred dollars on the road.
The beginner investor, without thinking much, rushes to pick up the bill and joyfully exclaims: "Luck! What a start!"
The intermediate investor skeptically hums: "Hmm, only a hundred dollars? Someone probably dropped it on purpose to test the reaction. I should have waited; maybe there's something else lying around."
The experienced investor, without slowing his pace, calmly says: "A hundred dollars? If they were lying on the road, then that's not my strategy. My money works while I move forward."
Moral of the anecdote:
* The beginner sees immediate profit and rejoices, often without considering the context and risk.
* The intermediate one starts analyzing but sometimes gets too caught up in analysis, missing opportunities or overestimating simple situations.
* The experienced one understands that real success in investing is not about random finds, but a long-term strategy and a systematic approach, where money works for the investor rather than chasing every bill.
