Mistakes are what superior investing is about. In short, in order for one side of a transaction to turn out to be a major success, the other side has to have been a big mistake. There’s an old saying in poker that there’s a “fish” (a sucker, or an unskilled player who’s likely to lose) in every game, and if you’ve played for an hour without having figured out who the fish is, then it’s you. Likewise, in every investment transaction you’re part of, it’s likely that someone’s making a mistake. The key to success is to not have it be you.
