"Most people can't weather the learning curve. As soon as it gets difficult, they begin to look for something else. As a result, they become slightly efficient in many areas without becoming very good in any single methodology."
โ Mark Minervini
The market never matures. Only the trader does.
That is the paradox: experience teaches you to expect inexperience on the other side.
The crowd replenishes itself endlessly โ new entrants, single-cycle believers, the freshly converted. The edge of the seasoned trader lies precisely in anticipating their mistakes, which never change.
To mature in markets is to understand that your counterpart never will.
