"look at Mohnish Pabrai, a Buffett-inspired value investor with a seven-and-a-half-year net annualized return exceeding 25%......

During most of that period, Pabrai has observed that immediately after he buys a stock, it tanks and immediately after he sells, it shoots up. So what explains his stellar performance? He exhibits no emotion toward those stock-price movements! When he bought Universal Stainless (Nasdaq: USAP) several years ago at around $15 a share, the stock was trading for $5 several months later. Yet Pabrai didn't flinch. And he would eventually more than double his money on the investment. The same thing happened with Tesoro (NYSE: TSO). After an average buy price of $7.63 a share in the summer of 2002, the stock was trading at $2.80 by the fall. Two years later, he sold the stock for around $15. He experienced similar situations with Frontline (NYSE: FRO) and Sunrise Senior Living (NYSE: SRZ) as well.

If you had given Pabrai's portfolio to an emotional investor, the results would have been much worse. To succeed in this game, remember that you have to take advantage of Mr. Market's emotional mood swings -- not the other way around."-Stock Article Link

Um... seriously though.. How money regular people do you know that consistently make those kinds of returns. Even people who subscribe to stock picking services don't make more the 10% after taxes.
This is according to Bloombergs recent article.
