One of India’s best (if not the best) value investors, Mohnish Pabrai, shares his best advice for how to achieve a low-risk, high-return asymmetry investing in the markets in this book: The Dhandho Investor. This video is my interpretation on my favorite takeaways from the book.
Playlist of more advanced stock market concepts: bit.ly/2QOANKP
Top 5 takeaways from Mohnish Pabrai’s The Dhandho Investor:
0:00 Intro
00:45 1. The Dhandho framework
04:46 2. Investing is all about the odds
08:00 3. DCF analysis
10:44 4. Look for low-risk, high-uncertainty businesses
12:49 5. The art of selling
TL;DW:
- Follow the Dhandho framework
- Size your bets using odds and the Kelly formula, or a predetermined fraction of Kelly
- Calculate the underlying value of a business using a DCF-analysis
- Look for investments with a wide range of possible outcomes. People are generally afraid of making such investments, which results in lower prices than warranted.
- Allow your investments sufficient time to reach their intrinsic value but realize that there’s also a cost of waiting. Sometimes, you have to admit that your wrong and take a loss.
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.

Please use less short forms or explain them like PE you used and also give a over view over terms like Kelly formula and how it work without very fancy terms rest all is great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@apes2426]

Hi Swedish Investor, I just wanted to enquire something in regards to DCF Model by Mohnish Pabrai. I realised there isn't a margin safety on top of DCF. Was it not mentioned in the book? Do you recommend Margin of Safety after calculating DCF?

[@philroberts1069]

Thanks for this! I've been following your videos for a while, I've bought a few books based on your reviews and it has resulted in a complete modification of my investing approach. One point - Is it possible to rate the books that you read with something like a five star system? That would help a lot with prioritising my reading list. Something I would like to see reviewed is Bob Farrell's '10-Rules of Investing' on market psychology but I'm not entirely sure that this is a book. I'm not generally a technical analysis guy but it would be nice to be able to predict Mr Market's mood. ...and, it would great to hear your take away points on some of the classics such as Wealth of Nations or Das Kapital, and for fun Art of War. Keep up the good work! Cheers

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Phil Roberts thank you for the feedback and all the suggestions, awesome! 😁 I will probably do a top 10 list, or similar, in a video soon, in order to give more specific reading suggestions. I try to avoid having too much of an opinion about the books with the current format, but hopefully such a video can fulfill the same purpose. I will look into 10-rules of investing and I will add the classics to my list of book suggestions. Cheers!

@Swedish Investor have you ever invested w Arbitrage? Any experience or more information on this you could recommend? The key question for me is how do I buy a stock on one exchange but sell it on another? Understand arbitrage with crypto is a bit easier but also practically almost impossible to execute due to volatility.

[@bitcoinbrokers9607]

Seems like an interesting book to take a look at

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

I was surprised. First ~25%, I didn't really enjoy, but after that it turned out to be really good. Great summary of classical value investing concepts + adding some new aspects, especially regarding uncertainty and sizing.

[@sci_list]

thank you for such a great summary, but i have a question: How did you calculate at 11:18 of the video? Can you help me? Thanks a lot... Love from Vietnam ❣️❣️❣️

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Have you checked out the calculator at this website? www.elem.com/~btilly/kelly-criterion/betting-returns2.html You'll have to experiment some, use the examples that I gave and try to recreate the results, and you'll know how to do your own calculations later

[@unidentified6365]

There is a green trend line in that kelly bet sizing chart..

[@LimonSqueeZ]

Can you help explain what’s going on at 9:18? At the 10% discount rate, wouldn’t you need less initial capital to achieve the same gains? So why would it be valuated at a lower value if the returns are greater?

[@OurWorldofDanceSport]

How do you calculate the percentage? That's so hard

[@mikek3741]

Pabrai regrets mentioning the Kelly Criterion in his book, and said he’d remove it if they ever published a revision.

Hello from Indonesia

[@ockersteve]

I would like to see the following books reviewed in the future. Author: John Trian with the classic books: The Money Masters, and The New Money Masters. The other book that would be good is The Templeton Touch by William Proctor.

[@k.h.6991]

I find the Kelly formula is a great way to decide WHETHER to invest & how convinced I am of a stock being a good investment. Doing it precisely enough to get an actual usable percentage is, IMO, impossible. Certainly for me.

[@maalikserebryakov]

So why isn’t everyone using Muh kelly formula then? 🤪🤪

[@simaopedro1482]

Nice vidéo

[@hastybit2165]

Hi Erik, You are doing a great job here. Thanks for the videos. I am not sure you will read this comment, but I have a question for you. Do you have any plans to crate an episode on the @The Swedish Investor channel about how to manage taxes with investments in Sweden? how to report to the skatteverket, different cases: eu not eu stock, etf, etc..., when do you need to report, in a way with great examples you do here.

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Thank you Hasty Bit for the suggestion, and your support 😊 I don't think that I will make such a video unfortunately, as it would exclude 95% of the audience. Reporting taxes is (to my knowledge at least) country-specific, and I only have ~5% Swedish viewers.

[@hastybit2165]

Thanks, Erik!

[@wilberthokrianto6736]

for part 4, how do you get kelly 75%? its supposed to be 20.2% of the equity right

Please make video on the joy of compounding by gautam baid

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Thank you for the suggestion nitish khatri! 👌 Let's see if other people suggest this one too, in that case, I'll add it to my list

[@bkaellner]

Pabrai says that it was a mistake for him to include the Kelly formula in his book, as it's not relevant for infrequent bets in a concentrated investment portfolio. Curious what you think about his current US holdings: FCAU and MU?

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Bradford Kaellner interesting! Do you have a link to a source where he addresses this? Personally, I liked that part of the book a lot as I haven't read about it anywhere else before. They appear to be true value-plays, but to be honest, I don't know enough about them to have a qualified opinion.

[@bkaellner]

@@TheSwedishInvestor He mentions it in multiple recent talks at business schools during the Q&A portion. You can find those on his KZbin channel.

[@kamalakannangunalan2740]

[@kamalakannangunalan2740]

how long you have the book reading habit? will you revice the points of the past books you read

[@bombombecker5222]

Great vid as always however Mohnish Pabrai regretted putting the kelly formula in the book and said he would take it away if he could. The kelly formula is not usefull for the stockmarket where his basic strat is few, infrequent and big bets however it works fine for frequent same kind of bets.
