Principle the first
Time is the only edge that never gets crowded.
Everyone wants the trade that pays by Friday. We are not in that business. The investors who do well over thirty years rarely did anything clever in any single one of them — they simply refused to interrupt the compounding.
"The best portfolio is the one you can ignore on the worst day of the year."
So we build for the long forecast. Diversified, low-cost, automatically rebalanced, and engineered to be boring enough that you forget it's there — which is precisely when it works hardest.
