Summary:
Those that watch the market reports constantly and suffer heart palpitations every time the company they have invested in drops a few points will either go crazy or wind up losing money by selling company stock at a lower price than they paid for fear that if they don't get out now, the bottom will drop out, leaving them with worthless stock.

Investments are scary for some people, especially those who have never invested before. We grow up hearing horror stories concerning how this person or that person lost everything they had on some bad investment some odd years ago and it builds in us a fear of investing so profound that it is sometimes easier to get a confirmed agoraphobic to march in the Macy’s Day Parade than it is to get someone to put a few dollars into stocks or mutual funds.

Part of the problem is that people have the wrong idea circuitously how investments should work. We’re uninterruptedly looking for the big score, the quick road to riches, and the quick return investments that will turn ten thousand dollars into ten million dollars overnight. Guess what? These investments don’t exist.

“What all but Microsoft?” is the question many will ask here. “What pertinent to Ebay and Wal- Mart and photostatic copy and…” you get the picture. While it’s true there have been some companies that have surprised everyone by fair quick successes and their stockholders watched with excited eyes and dilated pupils as their portfolios did some boundless growing in short periods of time, these are the exception rather than the rule in investing. Investments should be looked at as long-term money makers and security providers, not a spin of the roulette wheel with a big payoff or a devastating loss.

If you’re investing somehow the best thing you could possibly do is find a stable industry or mutual funds, put in your money, and forget everywhere it. Those that watch the market reports constantly and suffer heart palpitations every time the society they have invested in drops a few points will either go crazy or wind up losing money by selling cohort stock at a lower price than they paid for fear that if they don’t get out now, the rest will drop out, leaving them with worthless stock. Don’t worry. Coca-Cola is not going belly-up anytime soon.

Here are the 3 net-net articles I've written over at GuruFocus:

When Is a Bad Business a Good Net-Net?

Risk in Net-Nets

How Many Net-Nets Are There?

Expect a new net-net article each Friday. The net-net newsletter comes out once a month. The next issue is set for January 6th. The newsletter picks one net-net a month. And holds each pick for one year. Starting in April, I'll be writing about the performance of each net-net as it exits the portfolio. So you'll get to judge the newsletter's results for yourself.

So far they've been ugly. 2011 was not a good year for net-nets. At least not in the U.S.

On the bright side, it looks like one of my Japanese net-nets - Sanjo Machine Works - is going to be bought out. 

Even though Sanjo is just one-fifth of my Japanese net-net portfolio the 140% return on Sanjo will end up making 2011 a good year for the group despite my other four Japanese net-nets doing absolutely nothing pricewise.
