I love it when finance YouTubers reveal their failures instead of pretending to be godly beings. It is a true manifestation of self esteem and respect to viewers. Kudos Sven for being transparent.

[georgeconstanza]

Great video. Unfortunately, not too many people are able to acknowledge their mistakes in real life and learn from them and on YouTube it is even more rare! Kudos to you Sven for doing this video - you have earned a lot of respect by doing this!

[overnightgrowth]

Every investor should strive to make a video like this. If only for him or herself. Facing your past decisions and trying to learn from them is very hard to do in this space.

[timotejcernak]

I usually dont watch videos through my account, but after watching this, I had to sign in and say: Thanks a lot for this gem!

[maiasalyamani]

Huge thanks. The value of this video is unbelievable.

[landi]

Thank you for your transparency, Sven. You are a winner in my book.

[investingsimplified]

I personally did many of those mistakes. No shame, it s part of the game. I respect your transparency Sven

[Noveshento]

This was your best video to date Sven. Congrats for the courage and candidness. I see a great future for grandpa Sven

[susymay]

One of your best videos! ❤

We must learn from our mistakes, both our mistakes and the mistakes of others!

[javiergz]

Thanks for this video Sven! I've seen more than 100 hundred of yours and this is likely the best for me. Very personal, which is something to appreciate. Hope you stay that personal in the future, It will help people engaging with you.

[miellamborghini]

So much value here, really learned a lot. Thank you Sven.

[АндрійШульга-ък]

Great respect to a person who described his mistakes in such an open way, admitting unwise decisions and categorizing them. Thank you, sir, indeed, a lot to learn here.

[fingerprint]

Probably the best video I have ever seen. If you are not planning to include this in your next book you should definitely consider since it's a pure gold mine.. Taking a step backwards and comparing your mistakes against with my little journey I could clearly see similar mistakes in my investing behavior. So thank you!

[xzxz]

It takes great humbleness to recognize your mistakes and share them. Thank you Sven!

[cherrytofu]

Maybe your best video. Some people love to give credit to people for being transparent with their portfolio's and reasoning, but I think transparency with your mistakes and what you learned is more valuable. Any idiot can tell you what they're doing and why. It takes real integrity to admit what you did wrong and why.

[thomashelveg]

I think this is your best educational video ever. I find patience as the most difficult skill. It is also very difficult not to copy people you are mesmerized of, for example I blindly followed Ray Dalio, as many people blindly follow and copy Munger or Pabrai choices without having an own real convinction or knowledge in that choice.

[proracingproracing]

Thank you Sven, well done, appreciate your honesty!

[bozolito]

Man this was a trip down memory lane. It was like getting closure after a bad breakup. Lol. Good stuff sir

[vardanarakelyan]

Thank you very much for sharing such valuable knowledge, we all do mistakes, the important is to realize it quick and then review and change the strategy of entire portfolio.

[MrFrescocotone]

Excellent video. We all learn more from mistakes than from big wins. Thanks for the transparency
