Morgan Housel: Making Sense vs. Being Right “People tend to care about something making sense more than they care about something being right.”
A Wealth Of Common Sense; Decision Regret ” Basically, there is always going to be something you can look back on with regret in regards to your money decisions. Sometimes you sell an investment that continues to rise. Other times you hold on and watch it come crashing down. Then there are all of those investments you failed to make which saw crazy gains.”
