Risk aversion. I'm a coward and the fear of losing my money was kept me away from investing for the longest time. Even when interest rates fell below 1%, I still opted to keep saving because at least there was no risk of losing my money in a savings account and then I learnt about inflation. 🙃

I was very risk averse up to March 2021, then during lockdown started watching and learning about Index funds. It is scary, that I had so much ready cash roughly 50% cash 50 % in HL ISA and Sipp. Everything is with Vanguard now. I have increased my portfolio by 41% (8% is growth), the rest from cash invested. Currently got plenty of years cash for backup if anything goes wrong, so in August I have 30k maturing out of a Fixed Rate Account, so will be looking to invest that. I already have a lot in the S&P 500, some in ESG and might look at the U.S. Equity Index Fund - Accumulation for the 30k. I eventually want to get myself down to 2 years worth of ready cash, which I know is still probably too much. Also always watch your videos to the end, keep up the great work

A good investor is a person who continues to regularly invest and invests in the long term . If you genuinely believe that a stock is under valued then it is always a good idea to invest in it, especially when there is a downturn in the markets. The more you buy and sell, the greater the risk of under performing but the more you buy and hold, the greater the chance of at least matching the markets the longer you hold on to the stocks. Patience is a virtue

👍👍Another way to get out of the "dont sell at a loss" mode is to view each stock/fund like a traffic jam. All the other lanes are moving faster than yours, so just switch lanes. Then switch again when the current lane stalls (obviously not immediately for investing, Id give it a few months). If you jump back to your original stock/fund in a few months time, wont you be ahead compared to not changing lanes? 👍👍

Great stuff, James, thank you. The probability questions were unfair though. Probability only works statistically if the same bet is taken multiple times. You did not ask the question that way. You implied the listener was just making this bet once ("Which would you rather"), not multiple times. Obviously someone will only choose the chance not to lose rather than the sure lose if someone only has one stab at it. Just like most people would choose the sure win of a slightly lower amount than the gamble of a slightly higher amount, IF they only get one chance. The statistical analysis is only valid when the dice is rolled multiple times. Most of your stuff makes sense but this was utterly invalid because of the trick you played in the wording of the test questions. (I would give you a thumbs up but emoticons are a pain in the arse on this system.)

@@JamesShack I started late in life (52) and comfortable taking high levels of risk. I think its realistic that I will retire mid 60s with a very comfortable investment pot. The main threats to the pot is (1) not investing enough over a relatively short period of time (10-15 years) and (2) choosing the wrong year to invest in. I am fortunate that the job I do is working from home and its common for workers to stay with the company even in retirement. So my strengths are that my retirement date is flexible and I have a safety net should I need to delay it by 1-5 years. My other other lever to failure is my mortgage, again, started late and its due to end when I am 74. I am unsure of the direction I want to take with this as yet.
@JamesShack2 жыл бұрын
Things to focus on would be, like you said, longevity in your job but also in your health. Starting later is fine, you can always push things back - so long as you stay healthy for longer! You can get Lifetime mortgages these days if over 55 which can help solve that problem. No one know what the markets will do in the future, so now is as good as any time to invest. It's only in hindsight that we can look back and say that was "good" or "bad" but it wasn't really - just luck! That uncertainty is hard to accept but that's the truth of it. If you're still 10+ years off retirement, that's still plenty of time to see growth.

👍🏻 great content! By the way, regarding your bets examples, I think more time should have been placed on the statistical analysis. Some of these bets make lots of sense on a repeated instance, but become risky if you know the occurance of it is limited to once. For instance, a 50/50 probability of either losing 1000 or winning 5000 is a good or bad bet depending on (1) how much 1000 is of your total assets and (2) how many times your repeating the bet. If 1000 is, say, 80% of your assets and you do the bet only ONCE, the value of those 1000 far exceeds the potential benefit, because 50% of the time you will become broke. Now of you know its a bet you can repeat, say 10 times, it becomes a no-brainer because the bet is free money at this point. Therefore the probability calculations are important for the decisionmaking.

I imagine many more people would happily risk losing $100 from a coin toss for the chance to win $150, compared with those who would accept the risk of losing $10,000 against winning $10,050 even though the expected return would be the same. And if you could toss the coin infinite times of course you’d be crazy not to accept the bet.
@JamesShack3 жыл бұрын
Hey! So typically it falls off between 1.5-2 times the loss. So $100 loss for $150 gain up to $100 for $200 gain. After 2x it really drops off. This is a test of people's attitude to risk. You should check our Daniel Khaneman's book Thinking Fast and Slow. It goes way deeper than what i've done here and across even more biases
@deanej12 жыл бұрын
Again, agree with your point about risk aversion, but not with your maths. Statistics 101, expected value is rarely, and sometimes never, the likely value - and so is meaningless. You probably meant that you might expect to gain from the bet if you could repeat it enough times. Unless you’re allowed to repeat the bet as many times as you want, a 50% chance of losing is fairly high (depending on your appetite, I guess). Suppose the bet was get a free big house or lose your own existing home - maybe your appetite is different now? “Do I really need a bigger house enough to risk losing the one I am perfectly happy with?”, for example.

Hi James, thanks for this. As I was watching and considering your questions, it became obvious that one-off choices are more risky than repeated ones, because repetition tends towards the more probable outcome. One coin toss is either heads or tails, but 1000 coin tosses is likely to be close to 500/500. And so it is with the bets you offered. Even if the odds are in your favour, you'd feel pretty stupid if you lost. So a trader maximising wins and minimising losses can be profitable with less than 50/50 success, though success is likely, over time to be 50/50. But a long term investor making a single deposit is vulnerable. Cost averaging, I suppose, is the simplest answer to that. Depending on the investment time frame, there is a regular option to pull out, or to grit your teeth and keep pushing money in!

11:40 "It's so important that you totally ignore the past performance of all your holdings..." But what about reversion (regression) to the mean? Doesn't this imply that if a stock has done well in the recent past, it will likely do not so well in the near future, and that if it has done badly in the recent past, it will likely not do so badly in the near future? Or have I misunderstood this concept? (BTW I watched to the end but have no idea what "put a thumbs up in the comments" even means)
@iainreeve45223 жыл бұрын
I think the problem with regression to the mean is that we don't know what the mean value is for a particular stock. If a stock falls in value, does that mean that it's automatically going to improve in the future or is it in a terminal decline because it is selling products that nobody wants? If the stock was certain to increase in value the market would drive the price up. So a cheap stock could either be an under-appreciated gem or deservedly cheap. The market doesn't know, so neither do we.
@russellsharpe2883 жыл бұрын
@@iainreeve4522 Isn't the relevant sense of 'mean' here the overall performance of the market? So that if over a recent period a stock performs well (badly) relatively to the overall performance of the market, it has over(under)-performed and can be expected not to perform so well(badly) in the near future. Not always, of course, but "on the average"?
@JamesShack3 жыл бұрын
Regression to the mean is real, but is typically used for whole of market analysis, individual stocks have too many individual company risks that mean it is not reliable. You could try to do it by looking at a whole sector, but it's still hard. Momentum however is something that is very important which requires looking back at past performance, typically over the last 12 months. But the key thing is not to just look back over how long you have been holding the stocks, what it's done since you've been holding is irrelevant, just look back over the last 12 months no matter if you own it or not.

BUT also a big concern that if we changed numbers each week then our previous numbers might come up 😂 But the irrationality of it all was highlighted one weeked when we were so busy and didn't buy our tickets. That was the most attention we'd ever paid to the Saturday night draw - watching a lottery where we didn't have tickets just in case the numbers we would have chosen came up 😅 Also have held on to funds in a SIPP waiting for them to recover 😮 - although I must say platforms are very good at showing long term performance (you really have to dig to get recent data) helping feed my bias.

Just to note, in both of the polls, you only asked about a single instance of a bet. In a single instance, the bet that most people made is the rational choice; it's only when the bet is made multiple times (enough for the proportions of wins and losses to be shown to be true, say, 10) that the rational choice moves from the sure thing to the 90% option. This is something that shows up in a lot of psych textbooks, too. Yes, 90% of £2000 is equivalent to £1800, but as any single instance is a bet on one or other outcome, not the average outcome across multiple instances, the rational choice is the sure thing unless you can afford to take the risk (which is, after all, why one of the golden rules of investing - or at least the riskier kinds of investing - is to only invest what you can afford to lose). As such, the people who voted for the 90% option in both polls either knew the broader context and were assuming that's what you were getting at, or they were irrational.

👍 Watched to the end. How do you know me so well when we've never met? LOL. I'm terrified of losing a cent. That keeps me from taking risks. That said, can you make a video specifically for older people? I'm in my 60's. I've missed the time boat. But I have some money. What do I do now? Remember that the biggest segment of Boomers are now 65 and over. Please make a video aimed at us and what we should be doing. Thank you.

👍 Phycology is the most important part of investing & financial trading. Your degree is far more useful for Financial planning than Economics or Business studies would have been. Good content cheers

Not sure if you've spent any time listening to David Gardner from the Motley Fool, but an awful lot of this is in his general thinking about stocks - he calls it "Rule Breaking Investing" because it goes against general thinking/what you'd think is naturally right. "Add to your winners" ringing in my ears right now! 👍

This is a fun video, from a psychological point of view. My brain is still whirring around. There comes a point where I find myself performing 'infinite regression' wondering: am I doing this because I don't want to do this, or am I doing this because I do want to do this but realise that I'm only wanting to do this because my instinct is telling me not to do this? Arrrrrrgh!
