I have a bad habit of not bringing an umbrella when I go out, and yet sometimes it rains. And when it rains, I pick up a newspaper to protect myself from the rain.

The process of investing can be described as simple, but not easy. An investor can accrue outsize gains simply by buying index funds over time, for example, or by building a portfolio packed with high-quality businesses and holding on for many decades. The hard part comes when trying to identify those superb businesses beforehand. It's also a challenge for many investors to hold stocks through the ups and downs of intense market volatility.
