FYI: Greed and fear control everything in investing.
There is no amount of growth that can’t be destroyed by an investor’s temptation to grab too much of it. And there is no opportunity so appealing that it will catch the eye of someone who refuses to look.
But greed and fear aren’t always character flaws. People with the best intentions and ethics fall for their temptation.
The two traits evolve from something innocent: the amount of confidence we have that our actions influence our outcomes.
