Notes:

Written Investment Plan, and stick to that plan

Learn thru experience what your real risk tolerance is when you actually lose $

Do you have the fortitude to stick to your investing plan, when the stock has a 50% draw down

Investment Market History – over a 200 year period to give you guide posts

Expectations of returns that are more realistic, to avoid disappointment

 

Market Cycles – living thru cycles to identify them

Long Term Investment Horizon - 10 to 20 years, downturns in stocks, bonds, gold can last years

Example – you expect to stay in your house for 10 – 20 years

Short term leads to chasing returns and bad behaviors

 

Deep Research on Investments, Quant analysis and review the numbers to avoid biases

Allocation – Global Stocks, Global Bonds, Global Assets (Real Estate, Commodities, etc)

Meb book rec: Triumph of the Optimists – historical review of market returns, also Jim Rogers books

Home Country Bias – most people in US invest 80% in US stocks, look globally ( and allot 50% to US)

 

Diversify Worldwide – research European or Japanese stock market for ideas

Biggest Stocks hit a size that will have trouble going forward growing bigger (got from $1 tril, to $10 tril size), also have a target on your back, biggest stocks over time will underperform the index  

ETFs – worldwide and foreign markets

 

Invest with the House – monitor the 13F of big investors for ideas, institutional investors with $100 mil in assets must do a quarterly filing of stocks they hold (45 days after)

 

Analysis Paralysis – Simplicity is important, have an easy strategy

Talmud Portfolio – 2000 year old strategy – let every man invest 1/3 of $ in land, business, reserves

Meb modern translation – stocks, real assets, cash & bonds

Hard to beat strategy, can buy ETFs at low cost, and re-balance

Monitor details of taxes and fees, be defensive - Diversify your net worth to business, land, etc.

 

Start investing at a young age, save $ and stay invested, focus on low fees

Then Advanced Strategies of Value Investing, Trend Following, Tail Risk, etc.
