Episode notes
Overvalued Market
- High-quality stocks like Costco, Syntas, and Axon feel overpriced, signaling a potential market downturn.
- Their narratives of invincibility suggest a lack of worry, which is usually needed for stocks to climb.
IRR and Right-Tail Events
- Consider Internal Rate of Return (IRR) when evaluating investments, not just multiples.
- Costco's recent success is partly due to a right-tail event, a series of exceptionally favorable circumstances.
Left and Right Tail Opportunities
- Identify sectors experiencing right-tail events (e.g., insurers, grocery stores) or left-tail events (e.g., biotech).
- Look for left-tail opportunities, as a return to the mean can yield significant returns.
