📢 A meeting of the coolest investors is taking place. Everyone is sitting seriously, listening to a report on global trends. Suddenly, one of them, an old and wise man, raises his hand and says:
— Gentlemen, I've been thinking. Investments are like trying to catch a black cat in a dark room.
Everyone became alert and fell silent. He continues:
— And what if the cat isn't there... even more so!
Everyone exchanged glances, and the old investor added with a smile:
— The only successful investor is one who not only caught the cat but also convinced everyone that it was the exact cat he was looking for and that it was worth a million dollars, even if it turned out to be a stuffed toy.
The moral of the anecdote: In the world of investments, not only is the fact of making a profit important, but also the ability to "sell" your strategy correctly, create value, and convince others of success, even if the risks were enormous or the result did not quite meet expectations. Sometimes confidence and marketing play just as significant a role as real assets.
