How can one stay focused in such a volatile profession? If you can't trust your past successes to plan and predict, how can you avoid risky situations in the future? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBig Money Thinks Small\u003c\/i\u003e, veteran fund manager Joel Tillinghast shows investors how to avoid making these mistakes.
