@0xNorri wild that the executives called him a liar right up until the thing he described actually happened, conviction under that much pressure is rare
The professor who taught the actual value investing class at Columbia, the same seat Warren Buffett once sat in, put his whole method on YouTube and almost no one watched it
His name is Bruce Greenwald and Wall Street quietly calls him the guru to the gurus
Here he lays out the framework hedge fund managers pay him to teach, in plain language, for zero
His core idea humiliates most of finance. Growth is usually worthless. Everyone chases the exciting fast growing company and overpays, while the real money hides in boring things priced for dead
He says stop trying to predict the future and start buying assets for less than they are already worth today, because the future is where most people go broke guessing
An hour from the man who trains the people you pay to manage your money, free
Forty five thousand watched it. Almost none of them will ever open a balance sheet ↓
This man ran money for ten years and made 50 percent a year, every year, then walked into Columbia and gave the whole method away to a room of students
His name is Joel Greenblatt. Fifty percent annualized from 1985 to 1994 is a number most funds cannot fake for a single quarter, and he did it for a decade
Columbia charges students six figures to sit in that room. The exact lecture is sitting on YouTube right now for zero
And what he teaches is almost insulting in how simple it is. Buy good companies when they are cheap. That is it. The whole game is buying above average businesses at below average prices and waiting
The catch is the waiting. He says the strategy works precisely because it is boring and most people cannot sit still long enough to let it pay
Two hours and twenty six minutes of the man who beat the market for ten straight years, explaining exactly how, free
Fifteen thousand people opened it. Almost none of them will ever apply a single line ↓
There is a man CEOs are genuinely afraid of, because when he buys your stock it means he is coming for your job next
His name is Carl Icahn. He turned buying shares into a weapon, walking into billion dollar companies and forcing out the people running them into the ground, and making a fortune every time
Here he is for forty three minutes saying things most billionaires would never say on camera
He calls most corporate boards a joke, a club of friends protecting each other while the company rots and the shareholders eat the loss
His whole method is brutally simple. Find a great business run by weak people, buy enough of it to have a voice, then refuse to sit down and be quiet
Forty three minutes from the most feared investor on Wall Street, free
Nearly everyone who watched still believes the system is looking out for them ↓
One man made a fortune betting on the days everyone swears will never come, then went on stage and called every expert in finance a fraud to their face
His name is Nassim Taleb. He spent twenty years waiting for the crashes the models said were impossible, and every time one hit, he got paid while Wall Street got wiped out
His message is simple and it is savage. The events that decide your entire life are the ones nobody predicted, and the people you pay to predict them are the blindest of all
He calls them black swans. 2008. Google. September 11. The internet. Every single one was labeled impossible, right up until it rewrote the world overnight
Then comes the line that should scare you. The banks are not measuring your risk. They are hiding it, stacking it quietly under the floor, until the one day it explodes and takes the whole building down with everyone standing in it
You were taught to fear the loud, visible dangers. He proves the one that ruins you is always the one no model had a box for
Fifty one minutes. Free. Filmed in a tiny bookstore before the world knew his name
Almost no one who watched it was ready when the next black swan actually came ↓
