12 Images that contain Wisdom EVERY Investor needs to know!

1. Investing is without alternative, but the average investor is terrible at it.

Primarily, because of their behavioral biases. We will explore many of them in the following images. Image
2. There will always be a good reason to sell.

But your performance wouldn’t look too good then… Image
3. We have talked a lot about a recession lately.

For our portfolios, it’s too late already. The year before the actual recession is the worst for stocks.

The good news, if you hold onto your investments, you’ll perform pretty well pretty soon. Image
4. In fact, the 12 months after a bear market are likely to be among the best you ever experience. Image
5. Declines are no reason to worry. It’s a part of the game an investor plays.

There are many opportunities in these declines for the rational investor. Image
6. Do not chase the moonshots.

The difference of 1% or 2% may seem small, but a little above average is outstandingly better in the long run. Image
7. Chasing such moonshots often ends with a severe loss of capital.

And making up for that loss is extremely difficult. Image
8. Interesting, especially in the current context of the Midterms.

The market doesn’t care too much about Democrats or Republicans. Image
9. The market behaves like a pendulum.

It spends most time in the middle. But occasionally, it gets to the extremes.

That’s why we have cycles and volatility, no linear growth. Image
10. Speaking about cycles, they’re embedded in our system. Image
11. Saving without investing is a bad idea. Image
12. Time in the market beats timing the market.

Missing only a few days in the market can cause you to be the average investor we saw in the first graph.

Even worse, the rallies are unpredictable and often in bear markets where many investors stand on the sideline. Image

Daniel Kahneman was the expert on Human Decision-Making.

Despite reading dozens of books and visiting university lectures, his book remains the best I ever read.

Here are 10 Biases explained in under 2 minutes that influence our Thinking and Decisions:
(I wish fewer people would fall for No.8...)Image
1. Self-Serving Bias - Our failures are situational, but our successes are our responsibility. Image
2. Curse of knowledge - Once we know something, we assume everyone else knows it, too. Image

The S&P 500 returned the biggest 2-year gain in a century!

Does this mean there is a crash ahead? Is there a bubble?

I don't believe in fearmongering.
But history suggests significantly lower returns in the years ahead.

Here's how the Best Investors Prepare: Image
1. The Basis: Don't be Scared

Do not panic or let anyone scare you with crash narratives.

No one knows where the market will be next week let alone next year. No one!

Understanding that is the basis.
2. Risk vs. Reward

Could the rally continue? Of course!

But think about Risk and Reward.

Nvidia is valued at $3.5 trillion.
Is it more likely to reach $4.5T (+30%) or $2.5T (-30%).

Tough guess. But remember, losses are more difficult to recover.

The Risk/Reward shifted.Image

Charlie Munger was not only a tremendous investor, he was also one of the wisest people on this planet.

In 2007, he gave the USC Law Commencement Speech, and it contains tons of wisdom.

Here are 8 Lessons he viewed as most important for a Successful Life 👇 Image
1. Self-Pity

Self-pity has never improved any situation.

It's a destructive mode to be in and very hard to get out of once you enter.

Life can come at you in unexpected ways that might feel unfair to you.

But self-pity is never the right answer. Image
2. The Golden Rule

"You want to deliver to the world what you would buy if you were on the other end."

This idea is close to the golden rule known in questions of ethics and morals:

“Treat others as you would like to be treated.” Image
