ADVICE

Approaching Market Overreactions

  • Abstract away from daily noise and focus on changes from the base case, as news is already priced in.
  • Look for opportunities created by fleeting worries like Brexit or trade wars, which are often overblown.
INSIGHT

Differentiating Cyclical and Secular Issues

  • Distinguish between cyclical issues (like recessions or trade wars) and secular issues (long-term trends).
  • Cyclical issues create opportunities because they are fleeting, while secular trends require a longer view.
ANECDOTE

Micron Technologies Example

  • Micron Technologies, currently trading at a discount due to trade war fears, is a good example.
