Episode notes
Stock Picking Usually Loses To The Market
- Active stock picking and market timing mostly fail; 95% of active managers underperform the market over long periods.
- Mark Matson says markets are efficient so luck, not repeatable skill, explains most outperformance.
Design For Your Sleep Factor
- Build a portfolio you can emotionally live with and avoid panicking during drawdowns.
- Use high-quality short-term fixed income to lower volatility and rebalance into stocks when prices fall.
Rules vs. Discipline In Investing
- Knowing the rules of investing is only half the battle; the other half is the discipline to follow them.
- Human instincts and emotions drive poor timing and cause most investors to lock in losses.
