Hi all, this clip was taken from the Equity Mates Investing Podcast episode 'Valuation 101 with Aswath Damodaran: Every Number Tells a Story'.

I think we are too obsessed about the economy crashing. In the right sense, the economy never crashes. It just undergoes cycles, and almost always recovers. So I really don't care what the predictions are. I just want to grow my portfolio. I read that people are pulling in massive profits despite the downturn. Any tips on how they do it?

Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. Investing is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.

The young guys allowed the dean to talk and did not interrupt him. This was great listening to

[stutzpunkt]

There’s a reason that this guy is called “The Dean of Valuation”. He’s incredible

[Djjsndnndnnzjjs]

Best advice. I’m surprised. The guest is a very honest and wise person

Additional earnings reports from major tech companies, driven by Nvidia, coupled with trader FOMO, could fuel a resurgence in market buying pressure. I'm considering investing over $300k, but I'm uncertain about risk mitigation strategies.

[Curbalnk]

Been beating myself up a bit that I sold my 53 shares of NVDA at $303 each back in May 2023. Now thinking of liquidating a few other investments to rebuy but afraid to do so. I also currently have 500k in savings making me next to nothing.

What is the best way to profit from the current market, meanwhile I'm still undecided about investing $400k in my stock portfolio to get some dvidends and minimize risk

Only East India Company managed to deliver 18% over 120+ years 😂

[jonnagap]

I can’t emphasize how valuable and honest his advice is. Very few people want to say this or hear it. But this is the truth. Outperforming the market over 10-20 year period is as rare as someone trying to get excel in a competitive sport with basic training in their backyard.

If you so please, put 2/3 of your portfolio in index funds and then practice individual stock/value investing on the rest.

[cmburns]

Please everyone, just dollar cost average into low-cost index funds and channel your energy into more noble endeavors

This is the EXACT video I needed.

Been so distracted at work. Especially during this crypto bull market.

Justin Verlander is a great interviewer.

[simong]

Amazing wisdom and insights. I have never heard the argument for active vs. passive investing explained better. And totally agree that active investing at the end of the day has to be something you genuinely enjoy doing, regardless of payoff.

[saikatbanerjee]

This is one of thr most genuine advices about investing ever!

[vicgill]

Respectful interview who gets the best out of the guest. Refreshing to see.

[ianceasarbonachita]

This interview in itself is a reward. Thank you.

[jamesturner]

Great interview. I will say Buffett argues professional investors should concentrate. You can find videos of him arguing he would put 75% of his net worth in one stock. Munger had put %120 of his net worth in some ideas.

[scotttravis]

great and informative video. Recently, I've been pondering retirement. I've also want to put $800K into the stock market but i need an approach that will align with my risk tolerance and financial goals to secure our future
