Since you know that mutual funds arent that great, you are already waaaaaay ahead compared to most people in your investment. And don't worry about not having picked your own stocks. It's never too late and the whole "invest early" thing is another wall street myth that I will be posting later today. And you are right about there being too much noise. As investors, we should know the difference between news and noise. Hi Max,

A serendipitous find. I like how you quote from a lot of the famous investors, like Buffet. Buffet has so much wisdom, and he explains everything so simply and clearly. I've only been reading your blog for 10 minutes, but a lot of what you write strikes a chord. I myself like to buy medium or large companies whose stock prices have taken a hit. That's my investment theme. It doesn't make much sense to buy high. It can be hard to watch the daily market gyrations play around with your hard-earned money, and there's just too much news out there (best to avoid it?), but I'm not in this for the short term. I've been contributing to my 401(k) plan for about 10 years (it's called an RRSP in Canada, where I'm from), and now I realize I have to stop investing in my bank's expensive mutual funds (2-3% MERs!) and start picking my own stocks. Just didn't know enough before, but now I know more. I'm not going to kick myself too much for past mistakes; hindsight is always 20/20. But what I do regret is right now not having enough cash to buy stocks in this bear market (and no, I don't want to buy on margin, it's cash only). Thanks for the great articles and I think I will become a regular vistor. Max Hello Jae Jun,
