We discuss...
- Price is the purest and most reliable truth in markets, capturing the collective judgment of all participants and filtering out misleading narratives.
- Investors often get trapped by "chart crimes," forcing technical patterns or trends that confirm what they want to see rather than what the market is actually showing.
- Investors often believe that deeper analysis means better insight, but in truth, simplicity and clarity around price direction outperform complex models.
- There are strong parallels between the current AI investment boom and the late-1990s dot-com bubble.
- Euphoric narratives around transformative technologies tend to overinflate valuations before reality catches up.
- AI enthusiasm is driving herd behavior, where investors fear missing out on perceived “once-in-a-lifetime” gains, leading to speculative excess and distorted valuations.
- Most investors misjudge risk, confusing volatility with opportunity, and failing to respect the message that price declines are often early warnings of deeper structural problems.
- There are under-appreciated risks building in private markets, especially private credit and private equity, which have grown rapidly outside the scope of traditional regulation.
- Private credit lacks transparency, liquidity, and oversight, creating potential systemic vulnerabilities if credit conditions tighten or defaults rise.
- In contrast, regulated banks, though unpopular, are more transparent and stress-tested, making them safer in relative terms despite their public scrutiny.
- Investors chasing yield in private markets are ignoring the lessons of past crises, mistaking the illusion of stability for real safety.
- Liquidity is an often-overlooked advantage, allowing investors to act decisively when market conditions change instead of being trapped in illiquid positions.
- Stay grounded in simplicity, price truth, and discipline, avoid the noise of narratives, the allure of complexity, and the comfort of consensus thinking.
