The highest level of investing can be summed up in two words: waiting.



Why are top investors called "financial crocodiles" instead of lions, tigers, or sharks?
Because lions and tigers, though strong, expend huge amounts of energy hunting and risk getting injured; sharks are fierce, but must keep swimming to survive.
Only the crocodile can lie in wait in the path of its prey, submerged for days or even weeks.

When it strikes, it delivers a fatal blow; if it misses, it quickly retreats.
No pointless chasing, no unnecessary risks, not a bit of wasted energy.

It may appear passive, but in reality, it controls the whole situation—using minimal effort to pursue maximum reward.
That's just like top investors: they only wait for opportunities within their expertise. When they strike, they win.

Crocodiles have survived since the age of dinosaurs, for over 200 million years.
Not because they're the strongest, but because they understand best: rest during markets that aren’t yours, go all-in when the right opportunity comes.

True investment wisdom often looks like doing nothing at all.
When others are trading frequently, they're waiting;
When the market is restless, they're calmly observing.

Learn to be like a crocodile:

· Choose your waters (circle of competence)
· Lie in wait (maintain patience)
· Strike and retreat (cut losses decisively)

Waiting isn't giving up; it's the highest form of offense.

If investing always feels exhausting, it may not be because there are too few opportunities, but because you're chasing too many.
Pause, and wait for the right wind.
