Episode notes

Action bias is a prevalent and harmful bias in investing that leads investors to take actions without good reason. The most successful investors often emphasize the importance of doing nothing and making money through inactivity. Studies show that the average investor tends to underperform the market due to excessive trading and lack of patience. Quality investments, focusing on long-term results, rather than short-term fluctuations, lead to better returns. Warren Buffett's approach of focusing on owners' earnings of businesses demonstrates that stock prices in the long term align with company earnings. To avoid getting caught up in market noise, it is essential to concentrate on the big picture by reading company reports like the 10K and earnings call transcripts instead of getting distracted by short-term fluctuations or analysts' predictions. Investing in stable, boring, yet great companies and avoiding the lure of excitement in the stock market contributes to achieving above-average returns over extended periods.
