On... "I Just Kept Kicking!"
When asked how he managed to survive and swim all the way to shore, he replied "I just kept kicking!". Many years back ( circa 2001 ), I was involved in a near death experience. We were having a dragon boat training session in the sea, when the weather picked up unexpectedly. The waves started getting stronger and we quickly headed for shore. Unfortunately not fast enough, as a strong wave capsized our boat. Fortunately, we were not too far from shore and I was a relatively good swimmer. However, there was friend in the team who could not swim but with a life jacket and a lot of luck, he survived! How did he managed to do it? He just held on tight and kept kicking. Of course, he was lucky that he was moving in the right direction ( he could have moved further out to sea instead ). What has this got to do with investing? Basically, it is about trusting and following your process. Investing/trading is a difficult task because you very seldom or almost never get a feedback...
