A similar principle applies to tech stocks too. I know some Tesla and Apple millionaires. After reading The Psychology of Money I’m trying to be a more “buy and hold” investor and “let my winners ride”.

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel was published just a few months ago.

20 short stories about money, how to think about saving vs investing, risk and leverage, time in the market vs absolute returns.

Long term investing enthusiast for the past 15 or so years, i read "the psychology of money" by morgan house. Completely changed my perspective on risk, return, timing, life choices and decision paths. Simple, but highly highly recommended.

- Invest majority of saving in low cost ETF/Index fund following dollar cost averaging
- Keep a small part for bets on companies you like and believe in their business
- Don't act emotionally, buy and hold.

The Slight Edge is an amazing book about an amazing concept. Dramatic change happens one percent at a time at a consistent cadence.

Also great chapter in The Psychology of Money about Warren Buffet. He's been investing since he was a child and is now in his 90s -- He's been compounding returns on a longer timeframe then anyone else alive.

I'm totally philosophically aligned with this article and enjoyed reading it, but I'm just interested to hear whether anyone else has this problem: More and more stuff I read seems to be name-droppy like this. For instance, I've been reading "The Psychology of Money" recently, and I'm enjoying it, but its style is a lot like this article; an endless series of anecdotes about famous and semi-famous people, with insights from the author tying them together. Is this a new trend of some kind, or has it just become more obvious to me lately?

Edit: Ha! I did not catch the part at the end where this is the same author as that book. Ok then!

Agree. The psychology of money (https://www.amzn.com/0857197681) is a take on personal finance through the lens of history and human behavior, quite different from the usual in this genre.

I found the postscript absolutely fascinating: 'A brief history of why the U.S. consumer thinks the way they do'. http://reader.epubee.com/books/mobile/ac/acc521dcbf15f206f9b...
