Sir John Templeton, an American-born British investor, banker, fund manager, and philanthropist, said this on investing: “Bull markets are born on pessimism, grown on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria.”
He was named “the greatest global stock picker of the century” by Money in the 1990s, so we’re inclined to listen to his advice.
In this new minisode, Dustin breaks down each part of Sir Templeton’s quote. He also discusses timing the stock market, why it’s a bad idea, and what you should do instead.
