1. “Buy the dip” vs. “Don’t catch a falling knife”
- A falling price is either a bargain or a warning sign — and you only know which after the fact.
2. “Time in the market beats timing the market” vs. “Price matters”
- Long-term compounding is powerful, yet buying at the wrong valuation can cripple returns for decades.
3. “Diversify” vs. “Concentrate to build wealth”
- Broad diversification protects you.
- Concentration is how most fortunes are made.
4. “Be greedy when others are fearful” vs. “The trend is your friend”
- Contrarianism says go against the crowd.
- Trend-following says go with it.
5. “Past performance doesn’t predict future results” vs. “Winners tend to keep winning”
- Momentum is real.
- So is mean reversion.
6. “High risk, high reward” vs. “High risk often means high loss”
- Risk can lead to outsized gains — or wipeouts.
- The line between the two is rarely clear in real time.
7. “Cash is trash” vs. “Cash is king”
- Holding cash hurts returns during bull markets.
- Holding cash is priceless during crashes.
8. “Stay the course” vs. “Adapt to changing conditions”
- Discipline matters.
- So does flexibility when the world shifts.
9. “Buy what you know” vs. “Your circle of competence limits you”
- Familiarity helps you understand a business.
- But sticking only to what you know can leave you under-diversified or missing opportunities.
10. “Markets are efficient” vs. “Markets are driven by human emotion”
- Prices often reflect all available information.
- Until they don’t — and fear or euphoria takes over.
11. “Don’t try to beat the market” vs. “Someone has to beat the market”
- Indexing works for most people.
- But the market’s returns come from a minority of big winners — held by someone.
12. “Buy low, sell high” vs. “Low can go lower, high can go higher”
- Value investors love bargains.
- Momentum investors love strength.
- Both can be right — and wrong.
13. “Patience pays” vs. “Opportunity cost is real”
- Holding for decades can create massive wealth.
- But holding the wrong thing for decades destroys it.
14. “Real estate always goes up” vs. “Real estate crashes happen”
- Property is a long-term wealth builder.
- Until leverage turns it into a liability.
15. “Follow expert advice” vs. “Experts disagree on everything”
- Analysts, economists, and fund managers all have data.
- They still reach opposite conclusions.
