Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

[@ThamaraSchlossarek]

I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks...

[@BinuDauti]

@@ThamaraSchlossarek Quitting may not be the best approach if you ask me. This is where an AI comes into the picture. I barely have time to trade myself as my job swallows up most of my time. *MARGARET MOLLI ALVEY*..

I'm so glad someone is sharing this. All the recent events make me want to re-distribute my portfolio. I currently have 80k in my portfolio. How can I consistently pick winning stocks?

[@MARSHMALLOWwhimsy]

If you are not a professional, it's much easier you work with a professional who understands the ins and outs of the market.

[@MakeamericaGreatagain-h7j]

I agree. I started trading stocks because I can work with an expert who has a good understanding of the marekt. This third quarter I've already made more than 150k in net profit.

[@Damncars456]

This sounds like incredible profit. Could you recommend who you work with so I could check them out?

[@MakeamericaGreatagain-h7j]

Sure i don't mind. I've stuck with ‘’Sophia Irene Powell ” for years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

[@DreamweaverShade-h9p]

Thanks for the lead. I just searched Sophia by her full name and easily spotted her page, very professional..

[@Kep19901]

Aswath, ill watch 30 hours of your work. You're a smart guy and should be a head of some part of the US Government.

[@lonzo61]

I've been doing my own investing for about seven years, and I am still learning these lessons (particularly per the first ten minutes of this discussion). One can drive oneself to the asylum by playing some of these head games. Anyway, Prof. Damodaran has been very instructional in this short piece. I wish I'd discovered him sooner. Very good stuff.

[@JayPatel-gf9sc]

One of the best podcasts I have seen in many years. Very insightful. The professor is the ‘top dog’ and the host is asking some fantastic questions. I am going to buy this guys book. Wish I came across this type of philosophy 10 years ago 😢

[@johng180]

Mind blowing I could listen for days !!! Just makes it seem so simple !! We all know it's not !! Lol

[@cg722]

Thanks for having him, he's a great Teacher

[@kortyEdna825]

Diversification is the secret to optimal performance. This is why I have my interests set on market sectors based on performance and projected growth, such as the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech, and Health. Keep investing regularly and you'll be blown away how much it can change in a few short years. Here's to $1 million and to FIRE

[@carssimplified2195]

If you don’t understand the markets, stick to an index like the S&P 500. Dollar cost average and hold long term, or better still consider financial advisory to avoid losses

[@brucemichelle5689.]

Sometimes I'm surprised most people don't even know they can do that. I've been making at least 200k every year from my investments by working with an FA. When you realise it, it feels like a life hack.

[@PatrickFitzgerald-cx6io]

Wow, that's interesting . I've recently been exploring the option of working with an FA too. Any chance you could recommend who you work with? in her area and works for Empower Financial

[@brucemichelle5689.]

‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy’’ is her name. She is regarded as a geniusl Services. By looking her up online, you can quickly verify her level of experience. She is well knowledgeable about financial markets.

[@PatrickFitzgerald-cx6io]

Thanks a lot for the recommendation. I'll send her an email and I hope I'm able to connect with her.

[@tommy-73-dash]

When Aswath answered your question on today's youth, he mentioned they are getting the news online, on social media, etc. He asked who watches the 6:30 news anymore, and he answered probably the same people still using flip phones. LOL the man has a dry sense of humor which I like. My 97-year-old mother watches the 6:30 and by the way, has a flip phone, but we upgraded her last month.

[@GanapatiManager]

Another Indian Genius Intellectual ! Salutations to Aswath Damodaran. Plz Bring him Once More, we want Part 2.0

[@ssspector]

genius...one of the best episodes ever and some of the best content out there in podcast land!

[@tommy-73-dash]

Mr. Faber, thank you the interview with Mr. Damodaran is insightful. The session was interesting because of your questions and guidance. I appreciate a journalist type of give and take when the person asking the questions is familiar with the guest. It was apparent you knew his work and asked questions that stimulated his answers. Well, I guess that was obvious you have dogeared his latest book. Thanks again I am subscribing to your station. Look forward to uncovering more gems like today.

[@DavidSmith-do6ji]

We are truly blessed! Thank Mr Damodaran I will be buying the book also 🥳

[@Njsrufrider]

Ive tried reading a few of Aswaths books - every detailed, fairly advanced. Every time I think I make a little leap, I go back to his books and hope I pick up more info every time

[@AntonioMaurer503]

Thank you for sharing. Financial education is crucial today to show incredible resilience and discipline in the volatile market, masterfully balancing strategy and insight for success. This dedication to continuous learning is inspiring...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 540k in the space of a few weeks... I'm especially grateful to Milton Harper, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape..

Access to good information is what we investors needs to progress financially and generally in life. this is a good one and I appreciate

[@Heather53466]

Best signal provider in the market. Knowledgeable, level headed no loss like some other traders who recently jumped on the bandwagon.

[@vjrevankar346]

1st time listening to Ahswath. Great learning experience. Thank you. 👍

[@hmbast]

Great analysis of ESG, good job prof.

[@anandpatel2624]

There were some great questions asked and very great points discussed. Sane advice!

[@AGNESCHANG-u9h]

The stock market is more volatile than ever. recently went "all in" and bought up $150k worth of ETF's & individual stocks, my aim is to take advantage of this S&P 500 downtrend, what could be accurate predictions moving forward?

[@PauleAraiza]

Having NVDA and PLTR are smart additions in my opinion. it's all about balancing your risk tolerance with your long-term goals. Also partnering with a fiduciary advisor can help streamline your strategy.

[@AddilynTuffin]

De-risk your portfolios, shore up your core holdings, and take some profits while balancing your portfolio allocations. I’d also suggest you go with a managed portfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my wife and I. It's been 6 years now and we've made over 88% capital growth minus dividends.

[@Dollrnri]

@@AddilynTuffin This is incredible. Could you recommend who you work with? I really could use some help at this moment.

[@AddilynTuffin]

Sure thing! Jennifer Leigh Hickman is the T.X- based advisor I use and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

[@Dollrnri]

Thank you for the lead. I searched Jennifer up and her webpage popped up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon. Cheers!

Good point on the problem of serving too many masters. Nothing or Less gets done. And the goal of a business is too get as much done as possible $$$$!

the OpenAI segment 😲😲

[@michaelschiemer3]

I anticipate positive growth in the markets for 2025, and I'm considering investing $220k in stocks for my retirement plan due to recent rate cuts. Could you provide guidance on executing this investment safely? Additionally, are there any crucial tips or changes I should be mindful of in the current financial landscape?

[@Pconradsmith]

If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert. Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.

[@derrickholfman2]

Accurate asset allocation is crucial. Some use hedging or defensive assets in their portfolio for market downturns. Seeking financial advice is vital. This approach has kept me financially secure for over five years, with a return on investment of nearly $1 million.

[@Olsontim21]

Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?

[@derrickholfman2]

Credits goes to " Annette Christine Conte " one of the finest portfolio managers in the field. She's widely recognized; you should take a look at her work.

[@Olsontim21]

Thank you for sharing. it was easy to find her, then I scheduled a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.

[@brunomanco7529]

But stock buybacks are a "possibility" of stock apreciation. Dividends are a "real" cash payment

[@jamesbyrne9312]

Actually good ESG uses proper metrics so its not greenwashing at all

[@blhlow4904]

Hi, this is how an investor explains to me why Asian cos prefer dividend to share buyback. A lot of Asian cos are family owned and dividends are a way of paying back money to the families

Mag7? MSTR WILL CONTINUE TO DESTROY ALL!!!

[@java2architect]

Le Asswath, when you buy matters more than what you buy. If everyone had the benefit of hindsight, then Meg Faber show would not exist. You are making an argument for market timing which *everyone* tells you should not do. Therefore most investors when get FOMO and buy and "cost average" as stocks move higher and then when stock tanks, life / shit happens and they sell. THEN you blame the investor because one is supposed to do "long term investing". All you are doing is making people poorer using hindsight to perpetuate FOMO. Thanks a lot. NOT.

[@kunverjihirani276]

🙏😊👍

[@Blastmaster-ej5kw]

What a bunch of clickbait. We talked about the mag7 for 5 minutes and it's mostly bullshit as if this guy timed the market perfectly. And the topic never comes back

[@nickthequick]

and thank Meb for that I for one am happy, but the fine Dr. actually did what the headline says

[@Blastmaster-ej5kw]

@@nickthequick i wont' deny it was a pretty good episode in retrospect, but i'm disappointed and would not have clicked if i knew it was a company lifecycle episode.

[@digilifepro]

​@@Blastmaster-ej5kwPerhaps there's a bit of FOMO here? I know it triggers a bit of that for me anyway. When I saw the title (besides being very familiar with Dr A.) it pulls on the string of "Ahh I knew this or that back when I bought Mag1-7, I should have bought more then, held longer, and not sold all or half (or whatever) too soon when I really thought they couldn't go higher. Hmm Maybe this vid will give me an idea how I can get back in, even at these high prices?" But the takeaway should be something you can apply to any evaluation of a company and thus its stock. Side note: I'm no META fan but in Oct 2022 I also thought the Metaverse fiasco was overblown and misunderstood. Bought just under $100. One of my best buys based on fundamentals. Conversely, one of my worst sells and opportunity cost mistakes afterwards! Had a target of $210-220. Around April 2023, it broke $200, lost some momentum and hit resistance at $221, and as far as I was concerned, the next couple of down days were a reversal. Felt like an expert! I promptly sold position ~$210. Thought it was the perfect trade. Nice clean 100%+ return in less than a year..... And then... the market kicked me in the teeth to remind me to sit back down, I don't know shht. It made a local bottom at ~$205 just days after I sold. Ofc didn't know it was a bottom- figured it was headed lower right into my hands to buy back in. NOPE. It gapped up to $240 the next day! Ok ok I'll wait for a pullback. And that pullback never came (not until ~$325. "Too expensive, no way am I buying here!". Famous last words. Kicked myself all the way to $600! Sold for a 2x and gave up the 6x (or 4x relatively). And the reality is, had I held, I would have DEFINITELY sold at $320 ish. And still missed out on the massive run to $600. Have no idea how to decide when the market is being irrational longer than I can stay solvent. My Achilles heel. 🦶🏻

[@chandanprakash2002]

​@Blastmaster-ej5kw i enjoyed every bit of this podcast, but you have a fair point.

[@sanjayjoshi4594]

He talks nonsense - said Nvidia was grossly overvalued at $60…..I did opposite what he said and piled in…..now it’s $140. What a loser
