In his own words…
"Technological innovation, which is blindly pursued by so many seeking to 'beat the market,' turns out to be a double-edged sword that spurs economic growth while repeatedly disappointing investors. The individual investor, seeking a share of the fabulous growth that powers the world economy, inevitably loses out. My research shows that not only do new firms and new industries fail to deliver good returns for investors, but their returns are often inferior to those of older companies established decades earlier."
