Warren Buffett famously told investors to “be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful.”

It’s a powerful quote that helps temper the emotions that often roil efforts to beat the market, and yet, I think Wall Street has placed too much emphasis on going against the crowd.

It is especially true for the notion that individual investors always get it wrong.

It's simply not the case. Moreover, this year, retail has turned the tables on Wall Street and Buffett’s quote.  The new moneymaking mantra:

Be greedy when Wall Street is panicking and stay the course, as Wall Street catches up, and then wait for Wall Street to get greedy.
