Investment Philosophy

The principles and ideas that guide how I approach investing and portfolio decisions.

PHILOSOPHY

How I Approach Investing

My investment approach focuses on understanding what I own, thinking long term and making decisions based on research rather than short-term market noise.

01

Understand the Investment

Know the business, investment thesis and risks before committing capital.

02

Think Long Term

Focus on long-term business performance rather than short-term price movements.

03

Manage Risk

Consider diversification, position sizing and downside risk when constructing a portfolio.

04

Keep Learning

Investment decisions should evolve as new information and knowledge become available.

PRINCIPLES I LIVE BY

Ideas That Guide My Thinking

A few principles and quotes that I try to keep in mind when investing and making long-term financial decisions.

“Time in the market beats timing the market.”
— Kenneth Fisher

A reminder that consistently staying invested can matter more than constantly trying to predict the market's next move.

“In the short run, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.”
— Benjamin Graham

Short-term prices can be driven by sentiment and popularity, while long-term outcomes are ultimately tied more closely to the underlying quality and performance of the investment.

“Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”
— John Maynard Keynes

Fundamentally Right, Financially Ruined. Even if your market logic is 100% correct, short-term hype or panic can completely bankrupt you before the price finally corrects to its true fundamental value.
