NOTE

Invest Long, Worry Less

Market timing risk often induces anxiety among investors, yet successful investment hinges on long-term trends rather than short-term fluctuations. Focusing on 10-year trends provides a strategic advantage, especially in early-stage work where building a successful company typically takes a decade. While recognizing the inevitability of economic downturns during this period, the emphasis should shift to the potential growth of industries—such as psychedelics—which are projected to significantly expand. Success relies on creating appropriate products and navigating industry challenges over time, rather than attempting to predict the exact timing of market movements.
