Being able to listen to a man of Marks' professional knowledge of markets and economics is pure gold. I'm a 52 y.o. chef / restaurateur who worked and saved my way to a fortune. Howard Marks crystallizes what I feel to be true in the world today vis a vis economics, debt and asset prices. Things are crazy now, IMHO. Any monkey with a credit card and a loan can buy stuff now and that has pushed up prices of everything. As Howard Marks says " I find it too good to be true , that we have a credit card that we never have to pay the balance on."
I am wondering if people even realize that the oak tree capital stock investors have not made any capital gain over decades. Buffet talks with great track record while some other big mouth talks all the time with no performance.
First interview I 've seen from this interviewer, usually its been Stig but I have to say you did a great job interviewing one of the best money managers of all time. You got out some great answers for him, touched current topics and more general concepts. Loved it!
Howard is very careful to say anything sounding like a prediction which makes it a bit puzzling that he seems to accept the credit that he “accurately predicted” all these previous cycles. He is obviously a very successful investor who hasn’t blown up the accounts under his management but I’d say this is more reflective of prudence and good judgement than great skill in prediction.
👆 I have a friend who is a competitive chess player. I used to ask him how he seemed to know where I was going to move. He said he just tries to put himself is the best position possible given what’s known at the time. He doesn’t try to guess what will happen in the future. The most successful ppl have a process in place to keep themselves from overthinking it.
@@TheGbelcher That feels like a very misleading answer, considering in chess an extremely key element is to literally calculate explicit variations where you examine the outcome of given sequences of moves. Ie, a central element is tinking "What if I do this, they should respond with this, but then I can just do that which means they have to do that and that looks good for me". So whilst he's not technically "guessing what you'll do", he is estimating what your best responses are and making sure that the move is the best possible considering your best responses. The difference is almost just semantics. That is very different than a truly random game like investing where whatever you are playing against may not have a "best move".
Excellent interview! Fantastic guest accompanied by a great interviewer. The flow of good conceptual questions followed by thoughtful and sincere answers from a Mr Marks, that brings intelligence, experience, common sense mixed with the taste of a good person. Very Enjoyable meeting. Thank you!
Over the course of this year I have easily seen more than a hundred investment talks. I can definitely say that this is one of the best five I have seen so far.
@@MrsGG-id1os I would recommend the interviews to Ted Weschler, Todd Combs, Charlie Munger and one of the many talks of Monish Pabrai (I could not choose a single one but all). Those may be the other four.
I came to understand what "you can't judge a good decision by its outcome" meant in my own way before I knew how to say it so succinctly. It all stems from life being unfair and how risk doesn't care about how prepare you are or not. On average risk hurts the right people, but there will always be victims of risk who got burned for reasons outside their control.
Spot on with his analysis of the current national debt. We don't know when or how the impact will hit us, but we 100% know this monetary policy will absolutely crush us in the end. It's too good to be true on an individual level, it is the same on a national level.
This was a brilliant interview full of wisdom. This interview has a "time capsule" quality to it. 50 or 100 years from now the brilliance of the insights shared by Howard Marks will most certainly stand the test of time. Full marks to the interviewer as well who had clearly done his homework and was well prepared to ask excellent questions that elicited the brilliant responses from Mr. Marks.
And something that I note to be very rare: the interviewer has the good judgement to allow the guest to speak without interuption and at length. This allows the guest to follow his line of thought and is therefore very enlightening. It is rare to see these days where so much is churned out to cater for short attention spans. I very much appreciate this, thank you. And what a brilliant guest!!
Brilliant interview. It’s fascinating listening to Howard and understanding his perspective on things. I liked his views on interest rates remaining close to 0% for 8 years.
Mr Howard Marks is the one of the best. I've read to books from him and a few memos. Other great billionaires for your videos might be, Jeremy Grantham, Seth Kralman and Stanley Druckenmiller.
Always ask, "Which policy decisions will produce the greatest power and wealth for the decision makers and their cronies?" *The goal of all governments and all banking systems is to privatize profits and socialize losses. Always has been, always will be.*
@@DiakronYT I was not aware that he has ever acquired silver. But in 2020 if I remember correctly , he bought Barrick Gold but liquidated all his holdings within three months!!! Thanks for your time.
Really great interview! Howard Marks is just a fountain of knowledge, but like he said at the end, its really the great questions that make this interview exceptional. My highest praise!
I Watch and read a lot about anything that has to do with investing and this is hands down one of the best and most interesting interviews I’ve seen in the past weeks. Thanks for getting Marks to share his insights and investing philosophy and you sharing it with us.
"Two reasons people sell because they go up or because they go down" - third reason - my opinion - majority of non-billionaires sell because they have to/need money.
Wonderful discussion! Thanks so much for this. Yeah, it's very perplexing to me how the stock market hasn't figured this out yet. We are literally only 12% off the mother of all FED induced liquidity bubbles, which saw the market increase 7 fold in the 12 years from 09'-2021. Now with monetary policy EXACTLY opposite, balance sheet being reduced, the buying of mortgage backed securities and bonds being reversed, and markets somehow see this environment as bullish....honestly, i cannot figure out what buyers of equities here are thinking.
I'm a capitalist who also believes in fair market capitalism. All the money pouring into the pockets of Congress to change laws/regulations that only help...say...hedge fund managers or specific corporate verticals. Most business owners and/or investors don't have the resources to buy politicians.
"If your home buys less stuff when you sell it than when you bought it, you lost purchasing power regardless of whether or not the price went up." -- George Gammon "You don't fix a solvency problem with liquidity." -- Mark Yusko
Insurance companies will be the next shoe to drop, because they are very risk averse. They invest their premiums in commercial real estate and government bonds. AIG 2.0 is coming.
I was wondering about that too XD, but it all made sense when he said this at ~1:07:14 in the video: "And you know, if you just say the words, you can gloss over the weaknesses in your argument. But if you have to either write ’em down or create a graph which shows how things work, then I think you’re called to a higher standard."
Howard is super smart, and wise and has a very interesting thesis here and I think is probably right on the sea change. It's painful to hear even someone as sophisticated as him so bastardize and misrepresent MMT by completely ignoring that MMT does not suggest you can print as much money as you want without consequence but rather that you have no financial consequence instead you have an inflationary consequence, which is the key focus on MMT guidance. "Forget about what you can afford, there's no limit on what you can afford. Instead focus on what inflation consequences you will create because that's the real limit"
Within first week at Charles Schwab, we learned that modern portfolio theory is closely tied to broker liability. If you tell your client to sell and the market goes up a little, you’ll lose arbitration. Even when it crashes soon later. But you will never lose arbitration when you tell client to stay fully invested and they lose 50%.
I have to respectfully disagree with "can AI identify Amazon given a balance sheet?" I think that's exactly what it does. AI has access to 100% of information. Given past data sets coupled with past human behaviour when presented with those data sets, I'm sure it will be able to predict future behaviour based on probability of potential outcomes. That's what is so frightening and exciting about AI. With 100% of the information available and unlimited speed of calculations, it's almost impossible for the mind to comprehend it (like infinity). Still a long way to go, but you can envision where it's headed.
Intellectual humility and bravery accommodates that truth is constant under all terms and conditions. Our opinions may waver like shifting sands. The perfect perpendicular is truth. This is a human factor, not religious or cultural.
It's good to content on uncertainty, the unknown is something everyone struggle with. “Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it” - Andre Gide, a sharp contrast with people displaying apparent overconfidence with statements such as "Only I can fix it". People may seek out the appearance of certainty in an uncertain world but this certainty being projected is just an illusion. “The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.” ― Charles Bukowski
What will happen in time if deficits keep going up when compared to GDP: eventually other countries will give up buying your public debt. Then your population will have to do it, but it's too overloaded with debt to do so. That's when the country pays with inflation or a default, most likely the fist case and the super great lifestyles of the previous generations become a memory of the past. Might take some decades, but eventually the US will become Argentina if no changes in spending occur. Argentina was an economic power in the 1900's. Look at them now. That's what happens with uncontrolled spending. There's no magic in economics.
These rich investors are so vague, I wonder if they have inside information and that’s how they trade and make money. None of them seem to be able to explain in a way a person can do what they do and be successful like they are.
Great interview. Marks is a great mentor for investors. And he admits that some decisions turn out to be pure luck. But I guess as he works hard, he also gets lucky often
This was a tad advanced for me, esp with brainfog today :( But i most certainly enjoyed the bits i understood and this was an excellent interview that i will re-watch when i have learnt to understand financial terminology
Also, excesses are self-helping from those who buy because something went up so much, as the bitcoin buyers did. Then some sell because it fell so much already.
QE, Lowering of Interest Rates has caused a Great Deal of Malinvestment and Pure Financialization. The Lowering of The Interest Rates during QE Interest Rates Suppression wasn't that slow relatively speaking.
The central criticism that I have of the proposed analysis is that it implicitly assumes that once one deviates from the trend, either due to a bullish or bearish cycle, one will tend to correct and eventually return to the original trend. But what would happen if the shock were extremely strong, I am thinking of a great depression, which would deviate us strongly from the cycle and eventually make us enter to a completely new trend, much more recessive than the previous one? This could be due to a debt crisis, banking and financial crisis, deep war , etc. I think this point is not addressed by Mr. Marks, probably because he implicitly assumes that this event has zero probability of occurrence. I would like to hear some feedback in this regard. Thanks !
