Overview
Michael Mauboussin debunks four myths or popular delusions in the investment industry. He critically examines some issues that are often understood superficially, by going back to first principles.
Learning Outcomes
- Short-termism: individual managers and investors feel pressure to deliver short-term results. However, the market is not just one investor, but a product of all investors
- Dividends do not actually play a large role in equity returns, rather accumulated capital is the key source of investment return.
- Investing in money losing companies is not always a bad idea, depending on the pattern of investing capital in the business.
- The rise of indexing has not made it easier to be an active manager, as remaining active managers are extremely competitive.
