    I appreciate Einhorn's honesty and humbleness as an investor.

    He admits that his hedge fund is typically "wrong" 30-35% of the time.

    He stresses that a good investor disciplines themselves to admit their mistakes and let go of those bad ideas (investments).

    Einhorn advice: Get better at Knowing when you are wrong and having a process in place to act on your mistakes.

    Is any individual investor very good at this?

  • I can only think of ONE person that fits this : Knowing when we are wrong and having a process in place to act on our mistakes. I wonder if any individual investor is very good at this.
    Take a guess.

  • plus, he disliked musk long before that was cool.
    sadly that, plus remaining a whipped value investor, is among the few things we have in common.
