How High-Performing Investors Use Curiosity to Gain an Edge

I’ll be honest — writing Tuesday’s email about curiosity got me a little curious myself. (Yes, I see the irony.)

I started wondering: does anyone else actually think curiosity is a valuable trait? Or is it one of those soft skills people nod at and then forget about? So I went digging, and what I found was pretty interesting.

Turns out, curiosity isn’t just a nice personality quirk. It’s a legitimate performance advantage — especially for investors.

Curiosity Is Not Just a Trait… It’s a Performance Advantage
