Today's guest was the CTO of @Microsoft, likes to find T-Rex bones, has a gazillion inventions, CEO of @IVinvents & @ModCuisine, & coauthored 1,700 page pizza book.
One of my favorite chats with the always curious @nathanmyhrvold!
1/ There are a lot of investment sayings that get repeated by individual & professional investors alike.
One I hear parroted over and over again is a variation of “high stock valuations are fine since interest rates are low”.
But did you ever stop and ask, “Is that true”?
2/ This thread was inspired by a tweet poll I did a few years ago, in which I asked, would you still own stocks if they reached 10-year price to earnings (CAPE) ratio valuation multiples of 50-, or 100-times earnings.
3/ And I was shocked, but most said they would still own stocks at 50, and many (a third!) said they would own them at essentially any price (100).
