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

John C. Bogle changed the financial industry more than almost every other person.

He is known as the father of index investing.

He founded the Vanguard Group, which now manages $7.2 trillion.

Here are his 7 Investment Principles that made him create Index Funds: Image
1. Reversion to the Mean

Don’t think the past is prologue, it rarely is. Sometimes it’s anti-prologue.”

All extreme deviations from the mean will be short-term.

Over- and underperformance, eventually, they reverse to their mean. Image
2. Leverage Time in the Market

Great wealth is built by compounding.

Two things should be your primary focus.

1. Start as early as you can.
The longer you invest, the larger the leverage of time.

2. Never interrupt the process.
As Buffett said, never lose money. Image

This is Howard Marks.

He is a billionaire investor and one of the most prestigious Value Investors out there.

He founded Oaktree Capital and grew it to over $170 billion in AUM.

I read every single Memo he ever wrote.

Here are his Top 9 Investing Rules: Image
1. Focus on Intrinsic Value

Price only tells you what people are willing to pay, not what a company is worth.

Intelligent Investing must be based on estimates of Intrinsic Value.

The higher the intrinsic value relative to the price, the bigger the opportunity.
2. Benefit from Cycles

Our economy, as well as the stock market, move in cycles.

Cycles tend to extrapolate in either direction. Either extreme pessimism or extreme confidence.

Use the extremes to your advantage.

1. Stay Flexible in Your Strategy

One of Tepper’s strengths is his flexibility.

2. Focus on Risk-Reward Ratios

Tepper is known for weighing the risk-reward ratio meticulously.

He invests in opportunities where the potential upside significantly outweighs the downside, even if the situation looks bad at the time.

Here's how he invested and achieved +50% annual returns👇 Image
1. The Biggest Mistake

The biggest mistake you can make is to invest like 94-year-old Buffett.

He is limited in his investments due to his size. You're not.

Here's how he invested when he had "only" a couple hundred thousand and turned it into billions: Image
