    In this animated video summary of The Most Important Thing, I will reveal the best stock market advice from the man who have mastered the market cycles, Howard Marks.
    Learn to invest like the world’s greatest - Warren Buffett: bit.ly/2RT5per
    Top 5 takeaways from Howard Mark’s The Most Important Thing:
    00:00 Intro
    01:22 1. Risk: Understand, recognize, and control it
    05:25 2. Be aware of the cycles
    07:40 3. Mind your psychological influences
    09:58 4. Don’t be a sheep in a herd
    12:02 5. The role of chance
    TL;DW:
    - Pay attention to risk! Control risk by figuring out what an asset is worth and compare that to what it costs. Insist on a margin of safety
    - Think about where in the market cycle we’re at. Is the market greedy of fearful?
    - Avoid psycological errors by focusing on fundamentals
    - Only dead fish follow the stream - be a contrarian. Zoom out and use the movement of the herd to your advantage.
    - Remember: Some bad decisions produce good outcomes. Therefore - an investment decision can never be judged on its outcome alone.
    My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

      Top 5 takeaways from Howard Mark’s The Most Important Thing:
      01:22 1. Risk: Understand, recognize, and control it
      05:25 2. Be aware of the cycles
      07:40 3. Mind your psychological influences
      09:58 4. Don’t be a sheep in a herd
      12:02 5. The role of chance
      1. - Pay attention to risk!
      Investment evaluation : Calculate value by including "intrinsic value" and "margin of safety".
      Intrinsic Value : where you are / where you could be (calc both risk & reward).
      Control risk. by figuring out what an asset is worth and compare that to wihat it costs.
      Also Insist on a margin of safety in your investment.
      2. - Think about where in the market cycle we’re at.
      Cycle is sinewave - so predictable if you know where you are on the curve. Greed and Fear drive the market.
      Is the market greedy of fearful?
      3. - Avoid psychological errors by focusing on fundamentals
      Your fear / confidence / attention to detail / emotions impact your investing. Be emotionless use fundamental data
      4. - Only dead fish follow the stream - be a contrarian.
      Zoom out and use the movement of the herd to your advantage.
      5. - Remember: Some bad decisions produce good outcomes.
      Therefore - an investment decision can never be judged on its outcome alone.

    "Be aware of cycles"
    I currently don't have much money to invest but I realized if I want to make it big than I should focus on cycles and so I started learning about cycles of my favourite "which I believe are expensive,show some kind of cycle and most important I believe they are not going down any time soon" companies
    I found one who peeked my particular interest it shows some kind of annual cycle it's a big company ,very old one at that but p/e is 96,let's see if my prediction is right the prices will crumble down any time soon
    I think it's p/e will drop as far as 87-90 before climbing back to 96 consider it don't make any considerable change in it's earnings

    Compounding would be wonderful if we weren't in a fiat system. With a Gold standard, you would see your asset appreciate in real terms, but with fiat money, we are all operating on moving sands: you think you are getting "rich" with high returns until you realise that inflation (i.e taxation) is eating 50% of your profit.
    TL;DR: Mr Buffett made most of his fortune WAY before the fiat system was introduced, he then leveraged his existing wealth to access cheap money freshly printed from the fiat producing machine (i.e the Fed).
    IF you believe that investing will make you "wealthy", you are in for a rude awakening. All you are doing is feeding markets that are manipulated by the early entrants who only want to maintain the existing Ponzi scheme.
    Good luck!

    02:00 I agree with most things, but I disagree that a bad company is not always a bad investment. In my mind, a bad company is always a bad investment, regardless of price. There's never a right price for a bad company. Take the examples of investing in JC Penny and Blackberry, when they were bought at excellent price.
    "Invest Like a Guru" book is highly under-ratrd among value-investing community. I don't know why. In my opinion, it's one of the best books on value investing out there. One thing that sticks to my mind from that book is: "when you invest in good companies, time is on your side, but when you invest in bad companies, tines works against you". So, I should only buy good companies, at discounted price. If no good company is available at a discount, then I do nothing. That's the summary of value investing in my mind. But I think, when I have to ask what more important the high quality of the company or the deep discounted price, I think that the quality of the company is more important than price. Even if someone makes the mistake of overpaying for a good company, he could be forgiven, because time is on his side. The example of Microsoft is a good a good one. Yes, investors had to wait 17 years, but at least, they didn't lose their capital (except for inflation and opportunity cost). But when investors thought they were buying a bad business at a very deep discount, they were not forgiven, because time worked against them. Take the cases of JC Penny and Blackberry, for example. A bad business is never a good investment, and if someone makes money from buying a bad business, then he's just lucky. The most important thing, in my opinion, is "whatever you do, only buy good companies ".

    Well, if you passed on metflip, you lost. Because it returned like a 1000% and now it trades at 12309131 P/E ratio. And buying this stock, as long as you can explain why, is not gambling.
    You want to know why? Because the most important thing in the market is demand vs. supply. That is what makes the market. You might have an overvalued company and over-demand at the same time. An investors job is not only to value the company share, but to understand how much demand there is for the stock. You could also think about the opposite. You could find a great value company with no interest, worse, with oversupply (for various reasons). Buying that stock could be a bad bet, even gambling.
