In this animated video summary of Big Mistakes, written by Michael Batnick, you will learn about the worst investing mistakes caused by the best investors. Even people like Warren Buffett, Bill Ackman, Stanley Druckenmiller and the legendary Benjamin Graham have had occasional screwups. The difference between these people and “normal” people is that they’ve accepted that mistakes are just a part of the game - and that you can learn and grow from making them.

Top 5 takeaways from Big Mistakes by Michael Batnick:
00:00 Intro
02:00 1. Warren Buffett and the availability heuristic
04:21 2. Mark Twain and the law of holes
06:05 3. Bill Ackman and ego
08:10 Stanley Druckenmiller and investing that "fits"
10:00 Benjamin Graham and leverage
My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

If you learn from your own mistakes, you are doing good but if you are learning from other's mistakes then you are doing better. WARREN BUFFET

You just have to overcome the "that-would-never-happen-to-me"-bias first 😁

[@carbaj03]

Thanks for the summary! Many books are full of empty words and only have a few gold nuggets. You allow us to save our money (giving us knowledge and saving us time)

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

I'm happy to hear it Alejandro Carbajo, that is what I'm hoping to achieve with this channel. To provide people with the knowledge so that they can make their own financial decisions and improve their financial situations. I think that many of the books are worth a read though as they have considerably more than 5 takeaways and as they are able to go deeper than these videos, but hopefully the videos can help you realize you'd be more interested in spending time on.

I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it man, cheers! 🙌

[@MRZEROTOINFINITY]

The Swedish Investor Definitely. I like listening to your perspective. Especially since you are from Sweden which is pretty far from where I’m at in the States. Do you see any local trends or products that are growing there in Sweden 🇸🇪 that people in the States may be missing? I’m always looking for those opportunities - especially if they are on the public stock exchange!

[@shazislam7720]

Great video. Behavioural biases is not uncommon. One of the mistakes I tend to make is loss aversion or the ‘hole’ example you made. To prevent - I’ve learnt to take a step back to evaluate the overall portfolio and setting limits/stop loss at the outset.

Video Summary: 1. Warren Buffet: Availability Heuristic theory: A mental short cut that relies on immediate examples that comes to someone's mind when making an important investment decision. One shoe company with high moat investment followed by another shoe company with low moat investment. Second will fail. 2. Mark Twain: Law of holes: Stop digging deep if you keep digging deep. Admit defeat before it is too late. 3. Bill Ackman:: Ego : Purpose of Investment is to make money not be proven right. Don't express opinions about stock market, ego gets in way of rationality. 4. Stanley Druckenmiller: Investing that fits. Dont venture too much out in the unknown.Stay in circle of your competence. Expert macro investor that dipped toes in tech and failed. 5. Ben Graham and Leverage: Went all in and some leverage money in great depression, thinking stocks were cheap.Stocks fell. No investment style is refractory to short term fluctuations. Investors must capture a PF that capture enough in bull market and exist quickly in bear settings.

[@chandkeshav001]

Hey Swedish investor, when reading a book do you get a hardcopy or Kindle or maybe audiobook? And what other books do you have planned for the future?

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Hi Keshaw and thank you for your questions. I tend to get the Kindle-version mostly, as I want to be able to read whenever I have downtime, then it's practical to have all the books in your phone. Moreover, I get the audio with that whenever possible, because it increases the reading efficiency. Plenty of books within the field of long-term investing planned for the future, next one will be "The Acquirer's Multiple"

[@hammer12482]

Excellent question

[@englishcoach7772]

Thank you my swedish!

[@retsmon3440]

Great

[@batking911]

You should probably add UK fund manager Neil Woodford to this list. The story of the collapse of his eponymous equity income fund pretty much combines all of the mistakes mentioned in the video apart from perhaps using leverage.

[@sarthakkgangwani762]

Do you do DCF analysis or only look for the intrinsic value by fundamentals.

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Both, but in different phases of the investing process. The DCF is time-inefficient and should only be applied to companies that you truly understand, which means that this only makes sense very late in the process, once you are pretty much sure that you have an interesting opportunity. It should work as one of the final filters only.

[@71gaurav]

@@TheSwedishInvestor happy to hear that bcz even I do think same.. and often skip the part of dcf and valuation.. I just only if something is undervalued and good company and they are not going to be bankrupt..then I am in

[@sarthakkgangwani762]

You once told that you use the magic formula to filter out companies, but that means you will never buy a company with a high pe ratio( and high pe ratio doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad company, and rather depends on different industries/ sectors/business). So isn't your approach a bit wrong.( A company with good moat and high recall value will always have a high pe ratio).

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

The magic formula is not one of my primary investing tools, but I've been using the theory behind it, filtering out interesting companies based on quantitative information, for a long time. What the magic formula does is that it searches for discrepancies between value (RoA/Return on capital) and price (P/E / Earnings Yield). This way, it is trying to find what Buffett looks for - "Wonderful companies at fair prices"

[@sarthakkgangwani762]

Is technical analysis necessary to become a good investor. Please tell a course or website to learn it.

[@AnotherDante]

Stay the fuck away from technical analysis.

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Hahaha ... I've made a few videos about technical analysis in the past but to be honest, that has never been my style of investing, and it seems that people who are using the Buffett-approach have more reliable returns over time. I'll have to agree with Goatpriest on this one.

Ackman analysis is NOT what actually happened. It was Carl ICahn. The problem was not that Ackman was wrong then his ego prevented him. It was that he publicly went short with one billion and he had a previous bad blood with Icahn. Then Icahn short squeezed him. Even Icahn said on life TV, it will be the mother of all squeezes. Ackman lost one billion and Icahn gained one billion. So the MORAL of the story has nothing to do with ego. Rather 1. Never go public on a huge short (a bigger shark can squeeze you 2. Never annoy Icahn 🤣🤣😂😂
