Episode notes
How A Failed IPO Launched A Career
- Sunil started learning markets after losing his scholarship money on an IPO and taught himself from library resources.
- A 1986 three-part magazine series on technical analysis hooked him and led to decades of chart-based study.
Fundamentals Choose, Price Action Times
- Use fundamentals to pick quality and price action to time entries and risk.
- Great companies can still lose 50% in price, so combine both disciplines for better probabilities.
Question Your Thesis When Price Disagrees
- If the market disagrees with your view, question your thesis rather than the market.
- Maintain humility: forecasts will be wrong more often than right, so adapt to incoming facts.
