FTX-ed by SBF? WTF! How to Read Bear Market Signposts

FTX is like Enron*Lehman*Madoff

1. How can we spot these ahead of time?

2. Why do they keep happening?

3. Where do we go from here?

*The best careers and investments are made entering at the lows.*
1. Could we see it coming? Did we? Being early vs late…

I saw Enron 4 years early, and two analysts who also saw the fraud put sell ratings on the company in 1996, and lost their jobs and left finance by the time Enron went bankrupt in 2001.
Often we see something is off, but there’s too much individual career risk to do anything about it.

Some see it and call it (especially if it's their job - short sellers and reporters). Some see it and avoid it. Others fall for the FOMO and play until the music stops.

Crazy Stock Markets! Are We There Yet? Should I Buy?

Since Nov 2021, the Nasdaq lost over US$ 4 trillion in market cap

$4T is more than the net worth of the top 10 billionaires in the world

Here's
What we've seen
What we know
What we don't
Where we go from here
👇
What we’ve seen in past market cycles

​In past market cycles we see:

1. A blowoff of the most speculative assets, followed by

2. A changing of leadership to something different

3. And finally, an overcorrection of those past leaders
2000:

I ran the #1 fund in 1999, and rode the internet wave.

The tech index I was measured against was up 150% that year

No way the underlying businesses had grown by that much on average.

1999 was a blowoff of speculative assets - especially internet stocks

Leverage

In college, I FAILED to set myself up for success.

- no internships
- no student clubs
- no networking with alumni.

10 years later I was running the #1 fund in the world.

Here’s how I built my foundation:
Health:

Fit in what you need (sleep and movement) and eliminate what you don’t (sugar).

I ran 3+ miles 6x per week. That was my base.

You don’t have to do what I did, but start somewhere.
Pick a day and run for 30 minutes.
Relationships

Build meaningful, trusting connections through micro-moments and keep them fresh using your personal CRM.

As my friend said, treat the other person as if they’re the only person in the world.

I have worked with 4 billionaires so far.

They invest, think and act differently than normal people.

Here’s what I have learned from them and how it can increase your shot at making it big: A 🧵
[1] Think big

All the billionaires think big.

Ex: Elon Musk – Why not go to Mars?

George Soros – Why not take on the Bank of England?

Richard Branson – Why not build an airline from music expertise?
[2] All these billionaires think differently.

Not like us.

They dream big, think big, and act big.

I am often asked how I managed a fund that went up 634% in the first 12 months.

Here’s how I did it:
The answers are simple but not easy:

- Luck
- Intuition
- Compounding
- Long stressful hours

Let’s break it down:
Luck

I was in my 20s working as a horse trainer when one day my horse trainer (and life advisor) told me to go to grad school.

I listened.

Thanks to that I graduated college and got my first job in investing.
