The Wisdom Of Jesse Livermore
Lemmings have a herd mentality. But following the crowd, can have grave consequences like falling off a cliff and drowning in the ocean. Many investors have the same instinct. They follow the crowd and buy or sell when other people do. This probably won’t end in the same disaster as for the lemmings, but following the crowd virtually never leads to a successful long term investment performance.

Extremely important when investing is to be patient and wait for the right opportunity. As Jesse Livermore said:

I also owned some Australian mining stocks since the bank where I worked in Geneva was advised at the time by Adolf Lundin. Adolf was a legendary Swedish resource investor who lived in Geneva. Sadly, he died too early in 2006, but his sons have continued to expand the Lundin Group to one of the most successful businesses in the resource sector in the world.
