Well, the negative is probably obvious. Sharing my portfolio publicly may create a commitment bias. It's hard to change your mind once you propagate all the bullish pov on stocks you own.
1/9 I have noticed a counterintuitive benefit from sharing my portfolio publicly. This isn't call for you to share your portfolio publicly; I'm aware it is not feasible/rational for many out there.
I'm just explaining how I think it helps *me*.

It would create a cognitive dissonance if I get in and out of stocks every few months and yet claim myself long-term oriented simultaneously. So I kinda have to remain invested unless...
While that sounds like a lot of negatives, I'm increasingly thinking the opposite.
If in 30 years I discover my return severely lagging the index, I already know who the culprit is. It isn't Fed, Xi, or any US President. It's me.
Not having the option to flipping stocks every other month is likely to work in favor of my eventual goal of long-term ownership of great businesses.
I just need to make sure I do have such reasons.
Since I cannot just wake up one morning and decide to sell, I need to be fairly certain that I want to *own* this company before I buy a stock.
Even then, being able to cope with difficult experience in public is a skill that should come handy in the LT.

There were some smart folks there before Mr. Buffett. Weston Hicks & his preds at $Y. Larson at Cascade. If you followed what Hunter Harrison was doing at the CN you’d have been there. It had been such a lousy industry I ignored it. Figure out why smart people are in bad assets.
In hindsight, it obviously was a steal...but I think I would have come to the same (wrong) conclusion you did at the time of the announcement.

Given this info in hindsight, what would you do differently if you came across a similar situation today?
Great post. Lots of similarities with how you invest and successful microcap investing. The first bet is about the broad strokes. The subsequent bets is when you see the details fill in and average up. Buy low and then don’t be afraid to buy higher - sometimes aggressively.
Spoke to a group of students from London School of Economics this morning. So many great questions. As usual, multiple Qs gravitate around \u201chow do you know?\u201d Or how did you know or how could you know? It\u2019s the reason I wrote this. https://t.co/aECMjIFxw0

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.

The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.
One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.
Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
