The Importance of Opportunity Costs
Many investors fall into the trap of needing to do something, and to take action. They chase after what Munger would call mediocre opportunities. Godum does the mental exercise of liquidating his portfolio in his mind each day. He asks himself a simple question: Would I buy it at the current price? It's important that we don't fall in love with our most loved ideas because we've put a lot of time and energy towards them.
On today’s episode, Clay wraps up his review of Gautam Baid’s book, The Joys of Compounding. Today’s episode is part 5 and the final episode of our review of this incredible book. This episode is jam packed with investing wisdom that you won’t want to miss.
Gautam Baid is the Managing Partner and Fund Manager of Stellar Wealth Partners India Fund, a Delaware-based investment partnership which is available to accredited investors in the US.
