The purpose of this talk is to make a short inventory of what we have learned from past financial crises, analyze some very common market participants' behaviors and try to determine what makes a consistently successful investor. In particular, we will look at the 2008 crisis, the role of derivatives and the critical difference between security selection and portfolio management.
