Joel Greenblatt On Big Picture Thinking | The TRUTH About Value Investing
about 6 years ago by Fallible @ Fallible YouTube Channel

In this video we’re going to talk about how you can use big picture thinking to beat the market. And we’re going to do it with the help of the famous value investor Joel Greenblatt. If you don’t know Greenblatt, he wrote the book called “The Little Book That Beats The Market” which included his famous “magic formula” used in value investing. He also created the website Value Investing Club and is a professor at Columbia’s business school. In his classes at Columbia Joel would say that he’s only average at valuation work. He has little edge there. Where he excelled, and where is edge really came from, is in putting all that information into context. He could see the bigger picture and pinpoint what matters. Here’s a quote from him: “Explain the big picture. Your predecessors (MBAs) failed over a long period of time. It has nothing to do about their ability to do a spreadsheet. It has more to do with the big picture. I focus on the big picture. Think of the logic, not just the...

Jack Schwager On Why You're Investing Wrong
about 6 years ago by Fallible @ Fallible YouTube Channel

In this video Jack Schwager schools us on the importance of focusing on the RIGHT thing in markets — risk management. Too many amatuer investors are focused on the wrong thing when they’re trading. They’re obsessed with entries and finding the next hot stock. That’s part of the reason why there’s so many investing newsletters and youtube channels spitting out so many stock picks all the time. That’s what people want. But it’s not what they need… The best investors have win rates as low as 30%. So if that’s the case, does the specific investment you’re making matter as much as the need for proper risk management? The home runs are so rare, most of the time you’ll just be defending, trying not to lose. That’s why the best investors are so focused on their downside and risk management. Professionals understand that risk management and cutting loses are way more important than any other part of the investing process. They know they’re going to be wrong a lot, so they need to make ...

Why Economists Are WRONG About The Stock Market | Robert Shiller
about 6 years ago by Fallible @ Fallible YouTube Channel

Robert Shiller is not a fan of classical economics. And neither am I. In this video you’ll learn why! The problem with economics is when it starts to get over complicated with increasingly technical models trying to predict human behavior. The major flaw in these models is the assumption that people are rational. We all know that’s not true! So these models, as complicated and smart sounding as they are, tend to break down because of this assumption. Because people aren’t rational, and we’re all different, that means we all interpret information differently. That’s why I can look at an earnings report and think it looks great… but the company’s stock price drops anyway. What I thought about the report did not match with what the market thought. There’s a difference in how the information is being interpreted. This is the same reason all the financial media can be crying about the market nearing collapse, but even so it keeps rocketing higher. And that’s what makes a market right...
