This question has bothered me for days. If, on average, returns are greater than the rate of inflation, why do investors so commonly end up with significant losses or net-zero returns?

Is it a matter of perception? Is it that the average investor actually does have a positive RoI, but I'm more likely to hear about those who lose?
