Quote by Daniel Crosby

“What I am proposing here is that you consistently bet on inconsistency. What I am asking you to do is bet unfailingly on the failures of human reason, which is a sure bet indeed. It is a painful thing to admit that education, intellect and willpower are inadequate to make you the type of investor you would like to be, but it’s not as painful as losing money.”

Freedom isn't free, it takes a lot of hard work.”

“We often analogize our brains to computers – impartial storage apparatus tasked with housing and calling up information objectively. In reality, our brains are far more like beer goggles than supercomputers, which means that the intelligent investor must take precautions to ensure the emotion of the moment is not warping his sense of reality.”

To do otherwise is to believe that professional money managers are actually above the fray of human bias, when the evidence shows us otherwise.”

“Let me say with all forthrightness that the [Rule-Based Behavioral Investing] model is not perfect and that some years following its principles won’t even beat a passive market cap weighted index. But what it does do is tilt the odds in your favor by consistently exploiting the psychological failings of your opponents in the market.”
