Most investors spend their time hunting for “good companies.”
Very few spend time asking a harder question: How long am I truly willing to lend my life savings to this business?
Every time you jump in and out, you interrupt compounding.
It’s like uprooting a tree every few months to check if it’s growing.
Investing is not about being clever with timing.
It’s about having the patience to let something boring become extraordinary.
So the real edge isn’t finding great businesses.
It’s having the temperament to stay with them when nothing is happening.
