【答案解析】[听力原文] When asked how to succeed in life, Charlie Munger once pointed: Success isn't just about what you do. 16 It's also about what you don't do, and you can be successful in life just by avoiding major, obvious mistakes. 16The same logic applies to investing. Here are three of the biggest mistakes an investor can make. If you can avoid them, the odds are stacked in your favor. 17Failing to save. It's obvious, but if you don't save, you can't invest. Unfortunately, nearly a third of Americans don't save anything, according to a survey by the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America. And those who do save don't save that much. Admittedly, saving can be hard, but it's important—you can't win the game if you're not even playing. If this guy can do it, then it should be possible for most people. 17Not diversifying. Economists have described diversification as the only "free lunch" in the markets based on the capital asset pricing model work done by Harry Markowitz. But it's really just common sense: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The same advice has been suggested by Shakespeare, the Bible, and the Talmud. 17Trying to get rich quickly. In investing, the tortoise usually outperforms the hare. Unfortunately, wanting to get rich quick is human nature, 18and it leads to huge mistakes like buying penny stocks, chasing fads, and taking "hot" tips. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
