The Market doesn't care!
It doesn't care what title you have.
Or if you have a title.
It doesn't care which school you went to.
Or even if you went to school!
It doesn't care what clothes you wear.
And, as long as you invest from home, it probably doesn't care if you wear any clothes =).
The Market doesn't care if you have a corner office.
Or no office.
It doesn't care about what you need...
...or what you want.
It doesn't care what kind of an investor you call yourself.
Or even if you have a label at all.
That's what makes the Market both brutal and great!
A High School kid in shorts can go toe to toe with a Wharton grad dressed in an Armani suit and win.
Because what counts isn't appearances, titles or labels.
What counts is the quality of your decisions over time.
The effort you put into your research.
The temperament with which you stick to your convictions regardless of whether others agree or disagree.
The Market doesn't care what others think about you.
Neither should you.
