Market Regret
You Can Be Right Or You Can Be Rich
Rarely both.
Filed by Dry Powder Editorial Desk — August 1, 2026 — Character: Margin Call Mitchell
A short study of men who chose being right and are still explaining why.
There is a particular man who was correct about everything and compensated for none of it.
“The most expensive words in finance are "I almost bought it."”
He identified the risk early. He wrote it down. He waited for a better entry point, which arrived in the form of a chart he now shows people at dinner.
Being right is a hobby with no distributions. Being rich is inconvenient, unearned in parts, and considerably quieter. Most rooms contain one of each, and they never enjoy each other's company.
Not financial advice. Just expensive opinions.
