A very wealthy and astute investor was once asked about his secret for success and he answered - "I sold too early." The obvious point he was making, is that he didn't try to perfectly time the markets, which is impossible. It's also a good segue into a saying that my dad likes to use, which is - "pigs get fat...hogs get slaughtered." Both sayings go a long way in explaining the Oracle of Omaha's - many decades of success.
