Everyone who gets lucky with timing is a "genius" (a la Mark Cuban), but the reality is that holding long and not overthinking investments usually creates the most wealth.

Seems like you should consider reading more about Mark Cuban if you think his wealth was accumulated through the market. He's a very impressive person, far more than I knew. 

He's definitely not stupid, but he got rich by selling Broadcast.com

It worked out great for him, but not the acquirer (Yahoo?): too soon for the marketplace, hence the later, massive success of YouTube.

Despite him having NO market expertise, however, he's always quoted, when he makes a (usually) bad market prediction.

Chalk up to American celebrity worship.
