It doesn’t matter how experienced an investor you are, it is easy to make mistakes. Recently this has happened to me and it reminded me of three valuable lessons. As Charlie Munger said “One of the best ways to learn from mistakes is to learn from the mistakes of others” So in this video, I'm going to tell you the sad story of where I went wrong so you can avoid making the same mistakes as me

@Pensioncraft Ramin , do you think margin of safety applies to index funds? Should we still keep buying index fund if the whole market is a bull and over-valued? Thanks.

My father is vey bright. He spent years learning about stocks, investors chronicle, lots of research and time and effort. In the end he has done very well indeed. But his cumulate conclusion was, don't waste your time. Just put it in a low cost index tracker. I would not waste my time trying to figure the market out. I've got better things to do in life.

Ramin, if you are keeping these stocks in a pie and you really want to rebalance- I’d recommend choose the following: when you fund your pie there’s a fund distribution option - choose “self-balancing”.

@fredatlas4396 Месяц назад

Etfs have bid offer spreads as well to be wary of. I think you need to try and find etfs that are large and have a large volume, good liquidity

What’s the obsession with diversification? Ramin’s already 90% diversified. Have faith in your knowledge and abilities. A simple rule to avoid illiquid stocks is to avoid anything greater than a 0.5%/50bp spread. You’ll not have any problem buying and selling then. But on the other hand small caps are where fortunes are made.

@auldmart Месяц назад

The lack of liquidity and wide spreads on small caps is one of several reasons I avoid investing in the UK. The same strategy applied to US small caps might have had a different outcome.

@gerritroe5 Месяц назад

I try to rebalance never.

@Abdul_Rahman86 Месяц назад

My approach to investing is different for now. I use the analogy of the “pick axe and shovel salesman” the richest man when gold is found in the man who sells pick axes and shovels. If AI is they hype. Invest in Microsoft, apple, alphabet etc. If there’s conflict I’ll invest in LMT, BAE. If housing prices look like they’re going to rise, I’ll invest in caterpillar, etc

@joycekoch5746 Месяц назад

Even Munger made mistakes. He laughed at me in 2012 when I went in heavily on BTC Making it 27% of my investment portfolio. AS far as I know Munger died with the same as his 2012 attitude. I still have my BTC exposure but it is down to 7% of my portfolio.

@DismalScience Месяц назад

Is the bid/offer spread set by the trading company, or the market maker for the shares? Is it the case that ‘free trading’ platforms make margin by extending the bid/offer?

@patrickf2671 Месяц назад

Hello Ramin, most of us who have been investing in stocks have bigger tales of woe...despite doing relatively ok over the long term

@jabberwockytdi8901 Месяц назад

If you believe in the initial criteria then stick with it and live with the sector concentration, in this case it’s a by-product of the screening, not part of a diversification strategy - in any case that went out the window when choosing uk market only

@Keiron12 Месяц назад

If creating such a screen, where would one draw a reasonable line, regarding the spread?

Mistakes are easy to make if you have individual stocks in your porfolio. You must have the patience of a Budda , time and luck. Mistake number one: trying to predict the market.

@vinay4886 Месяц назад

1. I don’t understand why the ‘fun portfolio’ should be diversified. 2. Bid-offer spreads and trading costs are all very well but isn’t the whole idea of a fun portfolio to pick stocks that do well and cover all the costs of buying, keeping and selling? If the costs make such a difference to the portfolio, maybe you’re not picking wisely…

@Laser2120 Месяц назад

And also if he has more than 7 different companies in the fun portfolio he will start to replicate the market, making it harder to actually beat it.

@peterholmes2089 Месяц назад

I also sell out of stocks when I consider them to be very over-valued. Sure, they can continue to go up, but there is a high risk of them crashing back to reasonable valuations. Better to take the gains and re-invest into a new under-valued stock.

@citizenpb Месяц назад

So you're saying buy low and sell high? Wow, I think you might be really onto something there.

@UndisturbedMonk Месяц назад

No such thing as a fun portfolio when you're losing to the market every year. It just becomes a chore to maintain and dilutes long term compounding when you mess with it.

@NightElff88 Месяц назад

@Nightzo Месяц назад

Really interesting (again). Way beyond my capabilities, although I did follow... Still, must have been fun to do? Illiquidity always reminds me of a certain Mr Woodford! 😊

@jayearl3591 Месяц назад

Where you went wrong is the "UK" bit lol....😂 given the UK is a total mess (fellow Brit myself). That's probably why there's no UK based funds that meet this criteria whereas in the US you have funds like CALF which are performing pretty well relative the IWM. Regarding the bid/offer aspect - this is probably why its best to slowly get in and out of positions and take a longer term view with small caps

Where does the bid offer spread actually go? if the buyer had to pay 288p and the seller only got 228p on that day, who got the other 60p ?

@XylophonEichel Месяц назад

For a small, illiquid stock, there might be literally not enough people willing to buy/or sell the stock at any moment in time. Especially not at the same price and in large amounts. So a market maker comes in who provides liquidity to the market, so you actually can buy any small stock at any point in time. They build a position in any stock and then try to offer to buy/sell on their terms. So they might offer to sell a stock they have for 60 (offer) or to buy it for 50 (bid). If they manage to perform that trade to both buyers and sellers at the same time, they make a profit on the spread. If there are a lot of buyers and sellers, market makers can’t maintain such a large spread, because people can just find another party to buy/sell the stock to, so the buy/sell price moves closer together.

@mattinterweb Месяц назад

@@fredatlas4396 all subject to opinion of course but I believe we're at the beginning of a secular AI bull run that will last 5-10 years. Pullbacks yes, but over the long run tech will continue to outperform. The balance sheets of the biggest companies in the XLK are unbelievable. I pick stocks as well as having an ETF core, but if I was just picking ETF's I'd personally lean more into tech & industrials.
