1) Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'm going to walk you through "The Kelly Criterion".

 2) In 1956, John Kelly published a paper titled "A New Interpretation of Information Rate" in the Bell System Technical Journal.
3) In the paper, Kelly described a simple and elegant way for investors to strategically allocate capital in the face of uncertainty.

This is what is now known as the Kelly Criterion.
4) The approach is easiest to understand with an example.

I'll keep it as realistic as possible:

Imagine that you walk into an antique store one day. Due to the persistence of the salesman there, you buy an old lamp from him.
5) You take the lamp home. You rub it. Out comes a genie. Nothing unusual.
6) The genie knows you like investing. So he sets up a @RobinhoodApp account for you, and finances it with a princely sum of ... wait for it ... $1.

He also enrolls you in Robinhood's fractional share trading program, but not in margin or options trading.
7) Then the genie gives you a "stock tip": Aladdin Enterprises (NYSE: ALAD).

ALAD is a very special stock. Each month, the stock either exactly doubles or exactly halves in value. There's a 50/50 chance of either outcome, and no way to predict it in advance.
8) At the start of each month, you can rebalance your Robinhood portfolio between cash and ALAD however you like.

At the end of 20 years, all the stock in your account will be liquidated, the account will be closed, and its entire value will be given to you in cash.
9) Your goal, of course, is to maximize the end-value of the Robinhood account (20 years from now).

The only thing within your control is the portfolio rebalancing at the start of each month.

So what should your rebalancing strategy be?
10) Let's start by looking at the first month.

During this month, ALAD can either double or halve.

So, for every $1 you invest in ALAD at the beginning of the month, you'll have either $2 or $0.50 at the end.

On average, you'll have ($2 + $0.50)/2 = $1.25.
11) That's an average 25% monthly return on whatever money you invest in ALAD, vs 0% for whatever you keep in cash.

This is beginning to look like a no-brainer.

Clearly, the best way to proceed is to go "All In". Put your entire initial $1 in ALAD, and hold it for 20 yrs.
12) How will this "All In" strategy do over 20 years?

Best case: ALAD doubles every single month. That leaves you with many, many billions of dollars.

Worst case: ALAD gets halved every single month. That leaves you with an insignificant fraction of a penny.
13) But neither the best case nor the worst case are remotely likely.

These are like tossing a coin 240 times (once a month for 20 years) and expecting to get heads (or tails) every single time.

So what does the *average* case look like?
14) It turns out, for the "All In" ALAD strategy, the average case is not bad either.

Remember that on average, you make 25% per month? Compounded over 20 years, that turns your $1 into many billions.

So, in all likelihood, you'll make out like a bandit, right?

Not so fast.
15) Here's a table showing various "wealth brackets", and your chances of ending up in each one at the end of 20 years if you followed the "All In" strategy:
16) As you can see, there's more than a 50% chance that you'll end up with less than $1 at the end of 20 years.

And a 67.4% chance that you'll end up with less than $100.

And only a 3% chance that you'll end up a billionaire.
17) But how's that possible?

It's because outliers skew the average.

The billion dollar plus outcomes are so good that they lift up the entire average.

Kind of like one winning lottery ticket compensating for thousands of duds.
18) When you think about it, the *most likely* outcome is that ALAD doubles in some months and gets halved in others.

These doublings and halvings cancel each other, leaving you with roughly the same $1 you started with.
19) Key lesson: the *most likely* outcome can be dramatically different from the *average* outcome.

*Most likely* outcomes are not swayed by outliers. *Averages* are.

In this case, you will *most likely* end up with just $1. But *on average*, you expect to end up with billions.
20) So, you need a way to escape this "lottery ticket" situation.

You need a strategy that maybe gives up some of the unlikely billions in potential upside, but buys you a very good chance of turning that $1 into $100K or $1M.

That's the genius of Kelly. He found that strategy.
21) For this situation, Kelly's strategy is wonderfully simple:

At the start of each month, rebalance your portfolio so that exactly half of it is in cash and the other half is in ALAD stock.
22) So, how does this "Kelly strategy" do in comparison to "All In"?

The difference is night and day.

Just take a look at this table:
23) With "All In", there was a 50+% chance of ending up with less than the original $1. Kelly reduces that to just a 0.4% chance.

Kelly also gives you a 50+% chance of ending up a millionaire, and a 11% chance of ending up a billionaire!
24) Also, if you follow Kelly, the *most likely* outcome is that you'll end up with north of $1.3M.

The *average* outcome is still in the many billions, although Kelly does sacrifice some of the tail-end mega-billions.
25) But how did Kelly know to keep exactly 1/2 the portfolio in cash and 1/2 in stock? Why not 2/3 and 1/3? Or 3/5 and 2/5?
26) The answer is that Kelly built an entire mathematical theory to figure out the "best" possible strategy for a variety of situations like this.

When you apply the math to this particular problem, it so happens that you get 1/2 and 1/2 as the optimal strategy.
27) Indeed, you can think of more complicated portfolio allocation situations.

What if ALAD could quadruple, double, stay the same, or halve?

What if there was more than 1 stock: Aladdin Enterprises and Jasmine Enterprises?

Kelly's theory is applicable to all this and more.
28) I'll close this thread with a few references and resources:

"Fortune's Formula" by @WPoundstone is an excellent non-technical book that covers the Kelly Criterion in some detail.
https://t.co/soE2dFHDTH
29) "The Dhandho Investor" by @MohnishPabrai has many practical examples of how Mohnish has applied the Kelly Criterion to inform his own investment strategies.
https://t.co/76dL3uu0Ot
30) "The Kelly Capital Growth Investment Criterion" by Leonard MacLean, @EdwardOThorp, and William Ziemba is a comprehensive collection of articles about the Kelly Criterion (for the mathematically inclined).
https://t.co/dagvcvorZo
31) And of course, there's Kelly's original paper. You can read it in full here:
https://t.co/QAypqSA5N5
32) This thread on ergodicity by @borrowed_ideas is also pretty good; it contains some related ideas on probabilistic thinking, and was one of the inspirations behind my deciding to write this thread.
https://t.co/tplsgSr2mG
33) And speaking of ergodicity, @ole_b_peters has some good lecture notes that he's made available for free. His blog and Twitter feed are also pretty good.
https://t.co/FQDocNUnL4
34) If you're still with me, congrats! You have more persistence than most!

A1) Hey, what do you know?

Turns out there’s actually some interest in the core mathematical theory behind the Kelly Criterion.

So, with a shout out to @borrowed_ideas who encouraged me to include this, here’s an appendix to the tweetstorm that gets into the math.
A2) The key mathematical idea that Kelly had was:

Instead of maximizing the wealth you expect to have at the end of each round, maximize the logarithm of this wealth.
A3) Why logarithm?

It’s a bit involved. I’ll let Kelly take this one:
A4) Let’s look at the “cash + ALAD” portfolio rebalancing problem from this angle.

At the start of a particular month, suppose our portfolio is worth $X. We divide this into two fractions: $f*X and $(1-f)*X.

We put $f*X in ALAD and keep $(1-f)*X in cash.
A5) What happens one month later?

If we’re lucky, the ALAD part of our portfolio would have doubled. So the whole portfolio will be worth $f*X*2 + $(1-f)*X.

But if we’re unlucky, the ALAD part would have halved, leaving us with $f*X/2 + $(1-f)*X.
A6) This simplifies to:

Lucky case: $X*(1+f)
Unlucky case: $X*(1-f/2)
A7) Kelly suggests that we take the logarithm of this. So here goes:

Lucky case: log(X*(1+f))
Unlucky case: log(X*(1-f/2))
A8) These cases are 50/50. Equally likely. So, on average, what’s the logarithm expected to be? It’s:

0.5*log(X*(1+f)) + 0.5*log(X*(1-f/2)),

which simplifies to:

log(X) + 0.5*log(1 + f/2 - f^2/2).
A9) Kelly suggests we now choose f to maximize this.

That’s the same as maximizing 1 + f/2 - f^2/2, which happens to be:

9/2 - 2*(f - 1/2)^2.

Maximizing this means minimizing (f - 1/2)^2.

And that means choosing f = 1/2.
A10) Remember that f was the fraction of our portfolio that we allocated to ALAD stock?

So choosing f=1/2 means we put half the portfolio in ALAD stock.

The other half, (1-f), goes to cash.

And that’s how you do the math behind the Kelly Criterion.
A11) For more complicated probabilistic outcomes, it’s usually a good idea to use a computer to figure out the Kelly strategy.

But the key idea is the same: maximize the expectation of the logarithm of your wealth at every step.
A12) If you got this far, you’re even more persistent than the readers who got to the end of the original thread. Kudos!

Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'll walk you through the various connections between asset prices, interest rates, and inflation.

As an investor, it's useful to have a mental picture of how these pieces affect -- and are affected by -- one another.


2/

Suppose we have an investment opportunity.

This could be buying a stock, a bond, a private business, etc.

Let's say this opportunity will return $1M in cash to us after 1 year.

And not just that. This $1M will grow at 10% per year for the next 9 years, and 3% thereafter.

3/

This is a classic "cash flow model" that finance-y folk use all the time.

We have a business that promises to grow quickly for a while (in this case, at 10% per year for the next 10 years or so).

But after that, growth slows to a "terminal" crawl (3% per year).

4/

If we decide to buy this business, our "cash flows" from it will look like this over time:


5/

The question is: how much should we pay for this business?

Well, that depends on what kind of return we hope to get from buying it.

If we want a high return, we can't pay very much.

The lower the return we're willing to tolerate, the more we can pay.

In this thread, I'll walk you through the key differences between *earnings* and *cash flows*.

The punch line: Just because a company reports $1 of *earnings*, it does NOT mean the company has $1 more *cash* to distribute to owners.


2/

Before we look at a company's *earnings*, it's useful to understand the concept of Net Worth.

Net Worth (also called Book Value, or Shareholder's Equity) is simply the difference between what a company *owns* (ie, its assets) and what it *owes* (ie, its liabilities).


3/

Companies typically *own* a bunch of assets.

These include cash, "accounts receivable" (ie, money owed to the company by customers), "inventory" (ie, raw materials and finished products), "property, plant, and equipment" (ie, land, buildings, and factories), etc.


4/

Also, companies typically *owe* money or services to others (liabilities).

These include "accounts payable" (money owed to suppliers), "wages payable" (ie, money owed to employees for work they've already done), debt taken out by the company that has to be repaid, etc.


5/

Net Worth is what remains after we net out what a company *owns* against what it *owes*.

Companies that *own* more than they *owe* have positive net worth.

Companies that *owe* more than they *own* have negative net worth.

Let's kickstart 2022!

To that end, here are 22 key concepts to help you appreciate and achieve Financial Independence.

Concept #1.

What is Financial Independence?

It's a state of *self-sufficiency*. It's when you have enough money, and enough income-producing assets, that you and your family can live comfortably for the rest of your lives -- WITHOUT needing a job.

Concept #2.

Financial Independence is not really about spending MONEY how we like -- although, to an extent, that becomes possible.

It's about being FREE to spend our TIME how we like.


Concept #3.

Financial Independence is not really about quitting our jobs and retiring from work -- although that's possible.

It's about being FREE to pursue *whatever* kind of work we find most fulfilling. Things we love to do. Things the world benefits from. Etc.


Concept #4.

For most of us, the path to Financial Independence consists of:

- Starting Early,
- Saving Diligently, and
- Investing Responsibly.

Here's an inspiring story of a janitor who amassed an $8M fortune by following this very playbook:

Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'll walk you through the P/E Ratio.

Why do some companies trade at 5x earnings and others trade at 50x earnings?

When I first started investing, this was hard for me to understand.

So, let me break it down for you.


2/

Imagine we have 2 companies, A and B.

Let's say both companies will earn $1 per share next year.

And both companies will also GROW their earnings at the SAME rate: 10% per year. Every year. Forever.

3/

Suppose A trades at a (forward) P/E Ratio of 10. So, each share of A costs $10.

And B trades at a P/E Ratio of 15. So, each share of B costs $15.

Which is the better long term investment: A or B?

4/

If you had asked me this question 10 years ago, I would have said: hands down A!

After all, both A and B earn the same ($1/share). And they grow at the same rate (10%/year).

But A is CHEAPER than B (10 vs 15 P/E).

So, of course A is the better long term investment.

Right?

5/

The answer is: NOT necessarily.

B -- the MORE "expensive" looking stock -- could *still* end up being the better investment.

Why? Because it's not just about earnings, or how fast earnings will grow.

It's about how *capital efficient* this growth will be.

@Tom_Voltz1 1/

That’s a possibility.

Buffett has this concept of “owner earnings”: how much cash can be safely taken out of a business each year without hurting it?

Take out more than this, and we risk hurting the business’s competitive position, earning power, unit volume, etc.

2/

At the same time, leaving capital in a terrible business is not a great idea either. It’s like throwing good money after bad.

In fact, directing capital away from textiles (a bad business) and into insurance (a better business) is one reason for Berkshire’s success.

1/ The SPAC I’ve been tracking is $SAII, merging with Otonomo.

It’s a marketplace that enables auto manufacturers to monetize their connected car data that it aggregates and standardizes using its data platform. It projects revenue to grow from $3M in 2021 to $574M by 2025.


2/ Platform:

Otonomo is standardizing data using its patent-pending technology from its 16 OEM partners including Ford, GM, and BMW who provide data on 40M connected cars (4.3B data points daily), to make it easily usable by consumers and developers who can access it via API.


3/ Similar to other aggregators like $ROKU or $TTD, one of their biggest advantages is their neutrality. Many mobility services can’t operate well without data from multiple OEMs but individual OEMs lack the incentive to share their data with competitors.

4/ Otonomo is collecting over 150 data parameters per vehicle such as engine status, temperature, speed, location, fuel or battery levels, or seatbelt status. This is then normalized across OEMs and car models, anonymized, cleansed, and enriched through AI/ML.


5/ There are hundreds of use cases that range from helping drivers to find parking to helping rental companies monitor their fleets in real-time or insurance companies offer usage-based insurance and better claims processing. Otonomo charges usage-based fees based on use-case.

Dollar Cost Averaging 101

Many of the brightest minds in the investing world share one common trait: they recommend dollar cost averaging as an investment strategy.

But what is dollar cost averaging and how does it work?

Here's Dollar Cost Averaging 101!

👇👇👇


1/ Dollar cost averaging, or "DCA" for short, is a simple investment strategy in which an investor splits the total amount to be invested in a given asset across regular periodic purchases.

The regular purchases occur regardless of price, volatility, or economic conditions.

2/ The goal is to remove the complexities of market timing from the process, allowing an investor to build their desired position without concern for external factors.

Its simplicity removes behavioral and psychological biases from the equation.

Let's look at an example.

3/ Imagine you want to build a $10,000 position in bitcoin. You have done your research and believe in the long-term story.

You aren't sure if it will go up or down in the near-term, so you decide to dollar-cost average.

Great decision! How will you do it?


4/ You split the $10,000 up into 20 pieces ($500 each). You could have done any number of pieces, but 20 felt right.

You decide on a weekly DCA, so every Monday, you buy $500 of $BTC, regardless of price. After 20 weeks, you have built your desired $10,000 cost basis position.

It is counterintuitive but, if you have N100 to invest, (a) the N100 should be a proportion of a larger income, then (b) of the N100, always reserved N25 for downturns, no matter how good it's going with the N75.

Before we really get into the meat of this... please do understand that the hiding game is currently in alpha. Hardware wallets don't work w/ it yet (they will soon).

Sometimes orders go unfilled (improving every day).

2/

A bit more context:

Limit orders on an amm aren't limit orders in the traditional sense. They are actually arbitrage opportunities for keepers. Keepers are bots that operate in the dark forest of ethereum.

3/

Now, let's say you use a service like 1inch or matcha to set your limit orders.

Let's say eth is $900 and you want to sell at $1000.

Eth pumps to $1040 rapidly, a keeper fills your limit order for $1000... everyone is happy. But wait... who gets the extra $40 here?

4/

Hint: it's not you! But what if you could?

This is where the hiding game comes in.
https://t.co/6sBlUWfw00

When you submit a limit order through the hiding game, @Keeper_DAO takes the $40 (or w/e amount) referenced above (this is MEV) and pushes it to the treasury.

I had the most bizarre experience outside of a bar yesterday, which my partner very aptly described as "toxic mask-unlinity." (A Thread.)

I was standing outside, waiting for a lyft to get home, when two cis men came out of the bar to smoke cigarettes. They're discussing the masks that folks are wearing in California at the moment because of the very dangerous air pollution from the fires happening.

I happen to be wearing one of those masks, because I think lungs are important and I like breathing. I dunno. One of the men notices me standing there, and says, "Like this f*cker right here. What is this shit?"

He goes on a homophobic rant about me, the pansy with a mask, and what a Very Manly Man he is because he's not afraid to smoke a pack of cigarettes while California is on fire. He doesn't need a mask, because something-something-heterosexual-something.

And part of me is just... impressed by the fact that this dude thinks he's Owning The Gay Libs by not wearing a mask to protect his lungs from smoke and particles in the air that are literally DANGEROUS... while chain-smoking. Outside of a bar.

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.
