To my great regret and dismay, during all of the sleepless weeks to come, I would come so very close to grabbing a million U.S. dollars, yet would be kept a fingertip away. How come? Because I got inside the gate of first opportunity late, because I picked two wrong stocks based on others’ opinions, and because the trading house used a computer system that responded too slowly.”
