Maybe some may find this relevant,
In WW2 in the North African Campaign Rommelled our Army a merry dance for three years. OurGeneral were outwutted at every turn. Things looked bleak and ||Egypt just a few miles away and \Iraq oil just beyond that.
But cometh the hour cometh the man in General Montgomery.
The first thig he did was change the mentalityof his men. Every day he would gather the men of every rank around himand in his own super confident way make tem feel superior to Rommel and his Africa Corps. NO MORE BELLYACHING.. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE OF THAT. His pep talks were infectious and morale soared.
Next he made every man fit as Butchers Dogs with dailypunishing exwecises.
Then he made sure he wasn't going to play Rommels |Games anymore by chasing him around andgetting smacked in the process,
Finall y he told Churchill he wouldn't engage ||Rommel until he held all the cards in numbers equipment and Battle positiing.
When he felt that was done he let loose a humungous attack which swept the Afrika Corp back for hundreds of miles.
Victory at last. I vaguely remember it. All the local Churches rang their bells for the first time in years. This was the turning point in the whole War.
What can we ;learn from Montgomery as investors. Well first we must stop playing into the hands of MMs by trying to forsee what theywill do next. That way we always lose.If we reallkystudy the Fundamentals,equivalent to Monty's preparations and buying cheap,buying the dips and refusing to panic sell we are on to a winner.
WHY? Because we know the SMART MONEY is invested and accumulated over maybe months. When all the pieces are in place one fine morning at 8am BOOMMMMMMM.
YOU ARE RICH
