It is a very simple idea to use the power of compound interest  Smart people are easily attracted by complex things, and underestimate the great influence and importance of simple ideas. But Monish Pabrai is a full pragmatist, and he will not fall into this trap. "It is a very simple idea to use the power of compound interest, a very simple idea to imitate, and a very simple idea to be honest." He said. However, when you apply some powerful ideas with great enthusiasm, the cumulative effect is "incomparable".

The power of insensitivity in investments

The power of insensitivity in investments

In the field of investment, it is good to be flexible and sharp, but it is not only flexible and sharp. The most important ability to survive in the stock market is to be able to "sleep at night" and not be shaken by market fluctuations.


Generally speaking, most people are too sensitive and diligent about investment, and fund managers maybe even worse. They adjust their portfolios within hours, continuously monitor their portfolios, and often change their stocks quickly with surprising frequency to respond quickly to the prices set by the market at every moment. Their costs are so high that they consume any increased benefits. They are completely restrained by the volatile stock price. They buy because of optimism and sell because of pessimism. If they lose 5%, they may go away immediately. Therefore, winning is a great joy, losing is a great sorrow, and you can't sleep every night.

Peter Lynch is one of my most respected investors. He once served as Magellan Fund Manager of fidelity for 13 years. During this period, he created an excellent performance of 29% annual return on investment. Peter Lynch is known for his diligence and dedication. At that time, he traveled around, studied, and traded 15000 stocks before and after. Visit a listed company every day or two, more than 400 a year. Lynch always feels "very tired and stressed" at work, and doesn't even meet his family often. At the age of 46, he retired with white hair and an old face. He took only two long holidays before retirement. It is obvious that in the marathon of investment, especially in the fierce fund management industry, diligence like Lynch is doomed to be difficult to persist for a long time.

What's more, some famous investors, such as Jesse Livermore, who used his speculative methods to achieve great success, but finally failed in the same way and committed suicide because of poverty.

Look ahead to the future and live in the present

 Look ahead to the future and live in the present In short, what investors need to do is to "look ahead to the future and live in the present" -- not only strive to see the trajectory of future development, but also endure loneliness and calm down, and not pay for expensive tickets in advance for a wonderful future that is just a possibility. The fundamental analysis of enterprises must spread to three perspectives simultaneously, namely "the essence of market, the essence of the business, and the essence of investment". It will bring potential risks to investment analysis to only advocate any one of them and ignore the others. Understand the long-term development trend and final pattern of the industry from the essence of the market "supply and demand", and understand the fundamental decisive factors of the industry and the ability to produce differentiated competitive advantages from the essence of the business "competition", Then from the esse

Spatial induction and temporal induction

Image
 Spatial induction and temporal induction Before explaining the "misunderstanding of induction", we first need to fully understand the specific connotation of this thinking mode. Usually, when people use induction, they often set a certain reference first. From the inertia of human thinking, this reference is often space or time. The so-called spatial induction, in short, means that people will acquiesce to the effective law in one space, and it is also effective in other spaces or even all spaces. Just like an entrepreneur who succeeds in a certain regional market, he will take it for granted that he can succeed in other markets. We can use a more popular example to illustrate. If all the swans people see in Europe are white, all the swans they see in Africa are white, and all the swans they see in Asia are white, people will naturally default that swans all over the world are white. As the name suggests, temporal induction means that some rules that were established in the

About sales distribution channels

 About sales distribution channels Generally speaking, the higher the added value, the more complex the pre-sales and after-sales work, and the customers must continue to re-educate and explore the business, direct selling is the most appropriate. Although the initial stage is slow, the critical factor for the success of this business is to establish a strong influence on customers. In short, it is to "brainwash" customers. This complex and high-tech work channel is difficult to replace. And in the long term, the success or failure of this business does not depend on who achieved the scale effect through the channel first but on continuous innovation and the differentiation of value demands. Therefore, the temporary slowdown does not affect the long-term competitiveness of enterprises. On the contrary, this work is left to the distributor channel. The longer the time, the greater the hidden interest and the smaller the benefit. However, for businesses with low added value, a
