I liked that you touched on the behaviour aspect. This is one of the least talked about and important factors i think exist in investing and one that i am constantly trying to learn about from a number of areas.
The issue with the qualitative issues like behaviour and why i think they don’t get covered as much is because it can’t be measured. The problem is that by the time qualitative changes can be quantified it is usually a bit too late. Things like understanding investor, sharemarket, economic and real marketplace behaviour and observations can be great ways to see things happening before they turn into big problems that adversley impact your returns.
Retail companies are a great example, you can walk into a store and observe what is happening and is usually quite easy to understand the behaviour behind why things are happening like they are.
Simple yet terrific and compulsory for all investors.
Thanks Tim
Ask Mr. Kelley to speak up slightly please
I may be having hearing difficulties but i had to turn the speakers up to just below full volume to hear
Its not a problem i experience with Roger when he does it
