Meet Warren Buffett's anti-prodigy

For reasons that will soon become clear, I'd prefer this person remain unnamed. But telling a story without a name for the main character is ... well ... um ... lame. So I decided to call him something fun: Mr. Horderve. A couple things to know about Mr. Horderve: He's a good guy. A real fun time. The kind of person that if you're going out for beers, you want to make sure they're coming along. But for all there is to like about Mr. Horderve, he has one, BIG, fatal flaw... ...He's a HORRIBLE investor. Not just the type who buys high and sells low. But the kind who puts real money in penny stocks. And pennies in real stocks. It's almost like he bought a video on stock trading and somehow managed to watch and completely internalized the whole thing in reverse. (That's why I called him Mr. Horderve. Because in almost every way you can imagine, he's the exact opposite of the investing legend, Warren Buffett. Get it? Horderves vs Buffet? No? Just me laughing at the finance jokes... Okay, I'll see myself out the backdoor now 🚪🚶 ) Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because just the other day, I saw Mr. Horderve share this extremely long rant on Facebook about how he was done with crypto... for good. He said he'd bought coins at roughly double the price they are now and watched the market collapse for the second time since 2017. And to quote him directly: "I'm dumping EVERYTHING tomorrow. Closing up this chapter. Crypto is over." Now obviously that sucks. I don't like hearing that he lost money. But given his track-record... ....I've learned that when Mr. Horderve starts having conviction about a position, it's often very wise to take the opposite trade. No joke, I've paid for several vacations by buying when he says "sell!" So I put a reminder on my calendar of when he planned to "dump everything," waited patiently, and, then, threw a few hundred dollars into the top coins. My theory was, "if he's calling top, I bet there's a bottom coming soon." And I kid you not: Within a day of that trade, I started seeing headlines that the market was in free-fall, reaching 12-month lows. Which sounds an awful lot like a great time to be BUYING not SELLING. Now to be clear: Like almost everything in the markets, my positions are also down. I'm not claiming to be an investing savant. And this is DEFINITELY not investing advice. But in my life, I've learned there are two types of people. People like Mr. Horderve, who's advice is best heeded only on opposite day. And people who almost always steer you in the right direction. Word to the wise: Learn to classify people like this early and often. Because the only thing worse than listening to bad advice is following it through to completion. In the investing world, the Mr. Horderves can be hard to spot in the wild. But if you're a copywriter, right now you have access to a HUGE group of experts who's advice I've found is actually worth following... ...At The 2nd Annual Copywriting Summit (which is less than 1 week away!).
