Baseball, Emotions, and the Expectations of Investing

Do you ever find yourself swept up in emotions when it comes to your investments? What if you could learn to manage expectations and make more informed decisions based on data? Join us in this eye-opening episode where we explore the art of expectation management in investing and life in general. We even take a look at the world of baseball to see how expectations can be used for predictions on the outcome of a game or specific play.

We dive into various investment analysis strategies, such as technical analysis, macroeconomic analysis, analyst estimates, and company-specific factors, to help you better understand the market and determine the value of your investments. 

Lastly, we examine the earnings yield and its inverse relationship with the P/E ratio, using ExxonMobil and Apple as case studies. We discuss the cautionary tale of Nvidia and the low expectation of returns when overpaying for stock. Plus, we touch on FP Canada's more complex portfolio guidelines that provide an expectation of returns for a globally diversified stock portfolio for the year 2023.
