Now u ll see real estate stocks threads and youtube vidoes, All sugar stocks ethanol and ancilliaries "Time for a thread" disappeared once stocks stop moving up. Understand and react. Threads come out when entries are made by bigger folks and retail enters at peaks giving exits.

Sustainable wealth is not made by chasing cryptos or overhyped IPOs.

Stocks are bought and sold based on short term price movements. Even institutions don't take more than four quarters view. As an individual investor, you can completely ignore short term and take a decadal view. That's why each one gets different result from the same stock.

I always knew that aiming low was the best path for me, and so I merely sought to learn from my betters a few practical mental tricks that would help me avoid some of the worst miscognitions common in my age cohort.

I have seen plenty of Buffettology on Twitter and in other places over the past few years. Its time to clear the air and understand that there wasn't one but 3 different Warren Buffett's that existed throughout his career 📚📚

Time for a thread: 3 Different Buffett's 🧵🧵🧵

One of the biggest mistakes that you as an investor can make is to forget the basic and the most important mental model an investor can have: Numeracy. Being fluent with numbers and respecting the context in which Buffett made his returns.

At the beginning of his career, let's call this Warren Buffett 1 i.e. Between 1957-1968. This was the time when he was working with small sums of money. He was extremely valuation conscious and guess what. How many stocks did he buy and sell between this period?

In this period, he bought and sold nearly 400 stocks. He bought Geico and sold it within 18months, he bought Marshals wealth at a PE of 3 times and he bought Commonwealth at a PE of 5times and sold it at a 60% gain. His returns were mind-boggling too during this time period

No Wonder he said, “The highest rates of return I’ve ever achieved were in the 1950s. I killed the Dow. You ought to see the numbers… I think I could make you 50% a year on $1 million. No, I know I could. I guarantee that.” Look at the performance once

Your portfolio will naturally concentrate itself, the way it should be, into your winners if you just stay out of the way.
