There are a lot of ways to make money in the market. But even if you find that rare company that can move ten-fold and provide one of the best profits of your lifetime, that will take time. Most investors get impatient. There are far more investors interested in companies likeAmazon (AMZN) today, now that it’s proven its profitability. But even if you invested in the company back when shares were far cheaper, chances are you wouldn’t have taken the full ride.

Crisis Investing 101: Buy During Panics

There’s an old investment adage to buy when things look dour. While that sounds great in theory, human psychology makes it difficult. Even thinking about investing in a stock that’s been declining—or has been making news headlines for a defective product—tends to put our caveman brain into flight mode and avoid it all together.
