Here to learn and share about investing, economics and common sense. Views are non-mainstream.

Not investment recommendations!

Being rational is basically pursuing your self-interest.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

Thinking is a high return activity.

The more you think, the less you screw up.

Finishing first in a race is all about making sure you finish, and putting in extra efforts to outrun everyone.

Think today.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

@theclemeast Very true.

[CLEM EAST @theclemeast]

People commit crimes when they calculate that the potential reward (pleasure) outweighs the potential risk or punishment (pain).

This can apply to almost anything in life.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

Being a shameless copycat can be very rewarding.

Just do it well...

It works best inn business and investing.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

Humans are bad cloners.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

Where you want to go, others have gone there.

Sit down, and learn from them and see how they got there.

Now, do as they say. No twist, except when needed.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

Cloning is highly underrated.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

Well.

No need to try to figure out what other great people have already figured out.

Just clone, and you'd be fine.

[CLEM EAST @theclemeast]

Nobody builds wealth by investing like everyone else.
This is why I don't sugarcoat it.

I say what actually moves the needle, and maybe get hate for it.

Growing your portfolio isn't about finding a magic formula.

It's about sticking to a strategy that actually fits how you think and live.

Start building your own specific approach.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

@theclemeast Well.

No need to try to figure out what other great people have already figured out.

Just clone, and you'd be fine.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

@seth_doe22 Incentive and outcomes.

Once you know the former, the latter is easily predictable.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

As a business analyst or investor, you have one important job.

To make business predictions.

Not an economic prediction.

The first one is highly knowable compared to the second.

Focus on what you know and can control.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

Investing in US stocks is like trying to kill two birds with a stone.

You invest in US stocks.

Two things can happen in your favor.

Capital appreciation.
Forex gains.

You only have some control over the first one.

1 stone.
2 birds.

Not guaranteed though...

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

Annual Reports will teach you more about a company than anything else.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

@theclemeast I won't mention names openly.

Wouldn't mind talking about them privately.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

The future is extremely hard to predict.

It is what it is.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

If you can differentiate between temporal and permanent problems, you'd make a lot of money investing in the stock market.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

Chasing the bag is important.

But chasing the right bag is essential.

[INVESTOR @Value_Dive]

@theclemeast Are all these really important to an investor?
