Episode notes
Patience in Investing
- Use investing as a secondary activity alongside a more active vocation to satisfy action cravings.
- Patience is crucial; great investing requires being comfortable with long periods of inaction.
Seek Large Value Gaps
- Look for stocks trading at least 5 to 10 times below your estimate of intrinsic value.
- Ignore most tips quickly and focus intensely only on those with exceptional value gaps.
Efficient Research Methods
- Use tools like company handbooks or data services to scan many companies quickly for financial bargains.
- Spend time understanding that patience and deep research matter more than merely analyzing more data.
