"An investor who has all the answers doesnt even understand all the questions. A know-it-all [arrogant, non-humble] approach to investing will lead, probably sooner than later, to disappointment if not outright disaster. Even if you identify an unchanging handful of investing principles, we cannot apply these rules to an unchanging universe of investments or an unchanging economic and political environment. Everything is in a constant state of change and the wise investor recognizes that success is a process of continually seeing answers to new questions."
