I know some super smart investors who have every degree imaginable, yet sometimes they have investment paralysis b/c they OVERANALYZE a company or situation. As a result, they miss out on some basic investment ideas.

Sometimes people are too smart for their own good, and lose sight of the bigger picture in things.
