I'm so good at using fundamentals, critical thinking, historical research and analysis, and contrarian views that I look at and continue to return to in order to keep a current mindset that allows me to jump in just before the largest volume and 34% jump on no news, confusing all retail investors, as if I was in the same room as Congress in Augsut 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in September 2008, Trump/Mnuchen and FHFA Director Calabria in September 2019, and now Biden, Yellen, and their FHFA Director in the past months. I don't predict the future - I get to the future play with the right process and enter the room first among retail investors because I put the work in. I also learn to think like the people making the decisions - I'd use the Sun Tzu "to know your enemy, you must become them" - I don't see these as my enemies. But they do direct the order of the markets. Funny how that works. Yet, no one even has realized my value in the world yet. So I just keep on building my "W"s and sticking with the long game process. Wish Lehman Brothers was still around, I would've loved to work there doing what I do on my own and be paid in LEH equity - I'm not a fees guy. I put my money on my returns. My reputation is I go all out. I also challenge myself because I believe being too sure in oneself can lead to arrogance and arrogance would diminish my results because I'd not be thinking of my opponents motives and views. I will never change that. Scott Mathis I'm jealous you got to work at such a forward thinking organization. I guess I'm glad I got to learn a lot from my studies that began with a ? that the common perception of 2008 is just flat out wrong. I have found so much value since. 🍀

Some knowledge is timeless. Take this lesson Warren Buffet gave in his 1996 Berkshire Hathaway letter to shareholders for example- ‘Intelligent investing is not complex, though that is far from saying that it is easy. What an investor needs is the ability to correctly evaluate selected businesses. Note that word "selected": You don't have to be an expert on every company, or even many. You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.’ The circle differs for everyone and that is why it is so much more important to separate what you actually know from what you think you know. Take this as inspiration for you to go pick up a pen and paper now. #valueinvesting #investmentprinciples #stockpicking

One of the superpowers that great investors have is the ability to say – “I don’t know” Everybody nowadays has an opinion on everything – from wars to election results to the monsoon to 5 stocks to buy every day. But the truth is that wealth is created only by deep understanding of what you are buying, and of the risks involved. This is why the legendary investor Warren Buffett suggests focusing on your ‘CIRCLE OF COMPETENCE’. This is the area where you have an edge over others, due to your experience, or networks, or your temperament. (3 different subpoints to highlight) Buy what you understand. Don’t buy something just because your neighbour bought it. So, ask yourself today - what is your circle of competence? #calibridge #unlockyourpotential #personalgrowth #professionalgrowth #financialgrowth #circleofcompetence

⏳ Timeless advice from Warren Buffett’s annual letter to shareholders: 🥇 Avoid doing business with rascals! 🥈 Never forget Rule No. 1! Bloomberg columnist Beth Kowitt championed Buffett’s yearly letter as required reading not only for investors, but also for corporate boards, and C-suite executives. With profound insight on corporate transparency, cautious investments, and the imperative to steer clear of unethical actors, it is a blueprint for success. 🌟 Buffett, citing his own mentor, reminds us that all that glitters is not gold: “Many bankers who thought they could ‘manage’ the rascal problem have learned the wisdom of Mr. McCulloch’s advice — and I have as well. People are not that easy to read. Sincerity and empathy can easily be faked. That is as true now as it was in 1863.” #smartinvesting #trustworthyleaders #WarrenBuffet #investors #investmentstrategy #riskmanagement #sharholders #csuiteleaders #corporatetransparency

I recently posted some profound advice from the late Charlie Munger and now I feel compelled to emphasize recent comments by Munger's long-time business partner, Warren Buffett. First off, I love the phrase, "Avoid rascals." Simple advice but unfortunately too many investors fail to steer clear of individuals presenting red flags. Or worse, as Buffett says, investors naively believe these red flags will never present themselves again. Secondly, truly "knowing" who will be running the company that you are considering a significant ownership stake cannot be overstated. "When considering a potential investment, who is running the company is just as important to Buffett as its economics." Finally, Buffett acknowledges that no one, including himself, gets it right when assessing a new investment. It is certainly not a simple task to identify risks to a business and its leadership but that is even more reason to make a good faith effort to complete proper due diligence before any commitment. If it is good enough for the Oracle of Omaha, then I think we could all benefit from this wise advice... #duediligence #riskmanagement #execchecks
