I change my mind on whether active or passive investment strategies are superior almost every other week. So at least half of those posts are wrong.

If one is not superior to the other, then all of those posts are wrong ;-)

You didn’t get anything wrong in this one, Pop. It’s been a long, long time since I read a blog entry containing as many important truths as this one.

It’s why I write about value investing with passion, yet don’t commit more than 5% of my own portfolio on betting that the market is over or undervalued.

But then — It could be that I am wrong!
