From here on out, today we will discuss market cycles and how to avoid common market pitfalls. Let's try to find out what kind of common sense an investor should have for smart investing.
Before we get to the main discussion, let's learn a little about Howard Marks. Howard Marks is not just a billionaire investor. He is also the co-founder of Oaktree Capital. His institution has over $150 billion in assets under management. He is very famous for his memos. In this book, he shares his more than 50 years of experience through 20 principles.
Let's try to find out. He first discussed the issue of general investors. He said that ordinary investors invest based on perception. That is, they assume this company is good. Then they invested in it. He wants to say what kind of factors are working behind the price that the company is at and what everyone is missing from this.
And this is second-level thinking. In other words, you need to figure out the key to keeping yourself ahead of the herd or crowd through this second-level thinking, and in this book, he explains how to do that. Market efficiency and inefficiency, i.e. Mr. Market is always right. That means the market is never wrong.
The market is always right. The thing is, your or my emotions create some ambiguity here. Value versus price: Buy below intrinsic value. But it would n't do to just buy whatever you found cheap. Risk management. Market volatility is not a risk. Risk is the chance of permanent loss of your capital. Cycles, meaning that once something goes up, it comes down again and vice versa.
Patience, waiting for the perfect opportunity. Contrarianism, meaning that when everyone is greedy about the market, you are fearful, and when everyone is fearful, you are greedy. Margin of Safety: If you can buy a stock with a margin of safety, you will have a buffer zone to protect you. Limits of Prediction.
That is, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. You know, the whole point of this market is probability. You need to focus on this probability. Lux Roll. You need to differentiate between luck and skill. The two things cannot be combined. Humility: An investor's biggest enemy in this market is overconfidence.
Mark's mantra is to avoid losers in this market. Profit will come naturally. Profit is the by-product. According to him, most investors fail in this market due to psychological traps. By psychological trap, he means the grid or FOMO fear of missing out or the hard mentality, i.e., aligning yourself with the crowd.
As we mentioned earlier, Howard Mars is very famous for his memos. He had warned in advance about the dot-com bubble and the 2008 market crash through his memo. According to him, when there is euphoria or panic in the market, you need to delve deeper into the market. Through this book, Howermers teaches us to think differently and act patiently.
