Fees, funds, stocks and managed accounts frustrated me. It’s all based on
monopoly money and BULL anyway .. so I moved in another direction.
To ordinary folks who want to leave their job eventually. Just google
Certor Cash Code.
This is a very poor and outrageously biased piece of work. Picking the
‘NEXT’ star manager is difficult – picking the current star managers is
easy, just search the data. It’s like football. Everyone knows Mourhino
and Ferguson are great managers with consistent long term results. The
vast majority of football managers are not good at their job, but its easy
to identify and back the winners.
In active investing the only people making money are the fund managers.
This is rediculous. If you have true active managent, were you are avoiding
the majority of a downward market while participating in the majority of an
upward market, there’s no way an index can compete. If you have 1 dollar
and lose 50 percent, you now have 50 cents and it will take a 100 percent
gain to get back to square 1. However, lets say your money was actively
managed, and net of fees you have a 10 percent lose on that same dollar,
who will recover first? Easy answer. The actively managed fund.
Passive investing says nothing about diversification. It is simply about
buying and selling only when moments are optune. This can be only 4 times a
year. Not buying cause you feel like trading. Of course one should be
fairly diversified. Not diversify diversify diversify…. . I personally
think 7 to 10 well researched stocks are sufficient. Why buy the whole
market when you can only buy the stocks trading at deep discount with a
satisfactory margin of safety. Do not listen to CNBC = VERY TRUE
“Markets are efficient” next minute “people’s emotions make them invest
irrationally causing stocks to go up and down irrationally and people to
lose money” – I think the markets are more efficient than not but not
totally, so they are sort of efficient with plenty of errors and
irrationality thrown in there to cause stocks not to be trading at a price
that truly reflects the information available.
“this film HAS been funded by a company that specialises in passive
investing” Why wait to the very end for that disclosure? It puts into
question everything you have just told us .
And most people aren’t going to have the time and patience to learn and
practice enough to find the errors. In that case, index funds for sure.
