It is estimated that there are more than $60 trillion in publicly traded stocks and more than $80 trillion in governmental and corporate debts. Each and every day, public markets establish prices for CEOs and CFOs, as well as financial institutions and investors. Public departure – whether through an IPO or a stock-financed merger with an already public acquirer – is a crucial stage in corporate transformation
To understand and invest in public capital markets, you need to have a set of guiding principles. When it comes to professional investment management, this concept is a must-have. In every investing philosophy, there must be a stance on the efficiency of markets.
A market that is efficient is one in which prices accurately represent real underlying values. Individual securities have limited value in an efficient market. Higher profits can only be obtained by taking more risks. Investing in efficient markets entails lowering transaction costs and selecting portfolios with the broadest possible diversification to get the best risk-reward ratio.
In contrast, an inefficient market is one in which prices deviate from basic values, sometimes significantly. For analyzing market inefficiencies, behavioral finance is a relevant paradigm. Investor biases and institutional restrictions, according to behavioral finance, can cause prices to vary from intrinsic value. When it comes to securities selection and asset allocation, these departures from intrinsic value present both possibilities and hazards for knowledgeable investors.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”
Steve Jobs
I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems… It’s got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.

What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you – what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind – you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn’t a strategy.
