Afraid to Trade Blog: Frequency vs Magnitude: In the Markets and in Life

    This is an interesting article. Peter Lynch touches on this issue in his books as well. The idea that you can be wrong most of the time and still come out ahead doesn't get too much publicity, but it is true.

    Absolutely. It took me a while to comprehend in my trading, because I tend to be a perfectionist, but letting go of that notion - though it took time - was freeing. I don't have to be always right to be profitable. Mr. Lynch is a truly legendary investor that I could have used as an example of success through 'magnitude trumping frequency'.

    Thank you for the comment.
