Episode notes
Smaller Portfolios Survive Better
- Smaller, anti-fragile investors survive economic downturns better than large, fragile investors.
- Focusing on time abundance and portfolio resilience beats amassing the most properties or money.
Understanding Anti-Fragility
- Fragile things break easily under stress, while resilient ones endure but eventually fail.
- Anti-fragile things get stronger the more stress or shocks they endure, like muscles or mythological hydras.
Apply Barbell Strategy
- Use the barbell strategy by balancing risky investments with very conservative cash reserves.
- Maintain at least three months of expenses in cash to cover capital repairs and downturn uncertainties.
