 Five Lessons the Market Taught Me the Hard Way 

Most investors lose money before they learn these five lessons. The market does not care how smart you are. It rewards one thing above everything else: the ability to survive long enough to compound.

Lesson 4 — Every dollar in the market is a real dollar
Lesson 5 — Opportunities never stop arriving
