Greed Kills The Best Investing Strategies : Aswath Damordaran

“I expect to be wrong on the biggest winners, because they are the biggest winners for a reason. They won not just because I underestimated the cash flows, it’s because they were in the right place, the right time. So I never walk into this process saying I’m going to get the biggest winner for the next decade, I’d settle for the 20th best winner and kind of getting out too early because greed has killed more good investing strategies than any other quality.

many cities going under lockdown. govt is accountable for its actions. can’t just announce lockdown without providing reason or results. power is being misused to cover up low testing we pay taxes for better infra. testing and healthcare is part of infra in such times. lockdown is another tax that too during worst of the times. sorry state of poor and middle class

many foolish hypotheses are coming out to justify v high valuation for quality.

only sensible i have found till now is low interest rate.

Quality can retain high roe just like a bond. so that this bond gets priced higher vs govt bond. but even then i find excesses.. that also depends on ability to predict govt bond rate over long period. buffett had said that if you tell him that govt bond can stay at low interest rate for 30y, even index fund is a bargain at 25x.
