A quick shout-out to my son Aaran who reviews and proofreads all my emails before they go out. He provides valuable input and clarity to shape my thoughts.
His last review noticed my numerous references to Warren Buffett in recent blogs. So I took note with a temporary break from mentioning Mr B!
Of course, this is not just a one way benefit. Aaran’s job also gives him useful learnings, reflected in the growth of his own portfolio.
My pause this week …
This week I took two days out to attend a conference – learning from engaging speakers and equally captivating attendees around me.
It doesn’t always feel comfortable to leave the office and seemingly “do nothing” for two days.
But pausing from the daily grind is an opportunity to realise what really matters – the bigger picture. In my case I came back with big insights around the future investment landscape, driven by Ai.
Companies are leveraging the pace of this innovation, seeing higher profit margins and experiencing a rise in their valuations.
I knew this already but the pause helped me absorb and understand it with more clarity.
Knowledge isn’t enough in today’s world; everyone has access to Ai and YouTube. To succeed, we must also understand.
Escape the daily noise: Knowing v Understanding ..
Our investments work in the same way.
Market noise (useless), trading signals (more useless) and charts (sometimes useless) are freely available. Everyone knows and has access to such things.
But understanding is rare. That’s where the opportunity lies.
Take the sell-off post Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’. As you can see below, markets have fully recovered the decline – and more – since then …
Those who listened to market noise, followed signals or set stop-losses probably sold in this period. Those who understand how markets really work and think like investors will have bought in this period. THAT is the difference between knowing and understanding.
When we pause to understand properly, that yields big dividends.
