I have often thought about, and am occasionally asked, why some people are better than others at identifying opportunities.

Clearly, those that have significant experience, education and understanding in an industry or business are [...]

“It is morally wrong to let a stupid person keep their money.” I read this quote somewhere quite awhile ago. If memory serves, it was the late/great PT Barnum that said it.
