Summary

TLDRIn this insightful video, the speaker discusses 15 common financial mistakes that individuals often make while managing their investments and personal finance. Key points include the misconception around diversification—where investors mistakenly believe that buying more of the same type of asset helps, when it doesn't. The speaker urges against waiting for an ideal moment to invest, arguing that a methodical approach is essential. They also highlight the misconception that high-risk investments inherently result in high returns, advocating instead for a focus on overall financial goals and risk management. Additionally, they emphasize the value of knowledge over mere information, and not to confuse high alpha with high returns. The speaker encourages viewers to assess their strategies in terms of long-term goals and effective management rather than getting caught up in daily market fluctuations.

Takeaways

  • 💡 Diversification requires variety, not just more of the same.
  • 🕰️ Waiting for the 'right time' to invest can lead to missed opportunities.
  • 📉 Expecting fixed returns from investments is unrealistic; focus on your financial goals.
  • 📊 Always have a yardstick to judge your investments.
  • 💪 More risk does not guarantee more returns; proper risk management is crucial.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The speaker critiques the tendency to wait for a 'suitable time' to invest without a solid method. Relying on market trends or timing often leads to missed opportunities. The importance of systematic investing and risk management is highlighted as a more effective strategy than waiting.

    Overconfidence in expected returns is discussed, stating that individuals should focus on their financial goals rather than assuming fixed returns from investments. The speaker stresses the necessity of having a well-defined corpus for future needs, instead of fixating on percentage returns from market performance.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:27

    The speaker addresses investors' tendencies to constantly monitor their investments and the false belief that having more information equates to better decision-making.

  • 00:00:00
    hi I'm vertical even Cal and these are
  • 00:00:02
    15 of the most common in mr. mistakes
  • 00:00:06
    that I have observed I have been talking
  • 00:00:10
    about personal finance on stage for the
  • 00:00:12
    last five years I just realized it and I
  • 00:00:14
    thought I'll compile a list of some of
  • 00:00:18
    the most common mistakes that I notice
  • 00:00:21
    of course I'm not a big fan of
  • 00:00:24
    behavioral finance per se because I tend
  • 00:00:27
    to have a view that Who am I to talk
  • 00:00:30
    about other people's money management
  • 00:00:32
    Who am I to say XO why trade is a
  • 00:00:38
    mistake but I also believe that those
  • 00:00:42
    who talk about behavioral finance also
  • 00:00:44
    have behavioral drains which have to be
  • 00:00:47
    decisive about but still some I mean
  • 00:00:52
    there are some attitude some notions
  • 00:00:55
    some Beebe's which in my opinion are not
  • 00:00:59
    productive and it is in that sense I
  • 00:01:04
    think of them as a mistake you can argue
  • 00:01:08
    that it's what I think is wrong of
  • 00:01:12
    course but in in some of these instances
  • 00:01:14
    I have shown with data that the believes
  • 00:01:18
    are wrong and I will try to include the
  • 00:01:20
    proof in the what they call the I button
  • 00:01:23
    yeah so there every can
  • 00:01:26
    so let's get started so the first I mean
  • 00:01:29
    I'm not average them I mean I'm not
  • 00:01:31
    numbers are not not linked them in any
  • 00:01:35
    order I just thought about it and just
  • 00:01:36
    put in door slides so the first idea
  • 00:01:41
    that many vistas have they have a rough
  • 00:01:44
    idea of averaging that is they they buy
  • 00:01:47
    more of the same thing that assume it's
  • 00:01:48
    better they buy three large large cap
  • 00:01:51
    fund three multi-cat funds and they'll
  • 00:01:53
    have they'll buy 50/50 then one mighty
  • 00:01:56
    cap then one by aggressive balance to
  • 00:01:58
    they're essentially buying more of the
  • 00:02:00
    same thing and they think it's averaging
  • 00:02:02
    and it will it will reduce risk our
  • 00:02:04
    product on downsides not if you buy
  • 00:02:07
    not the same thing it'll never help you
  • 00:02:09
    in this quarter you have to buy
  • 00:02:13
    averaging or diversification you should
  • 00:02:15
    buy apples oranges and tomatoes if you
  • 00:02:21
    keep buying more and more awareness of
  • 00:02:22
    different types of oranges you will just
  • 00:02:24
    end up getting you know pretty much
  • 00:02:27
    similar results to having just one of
  • 00:02:30
    them so that's one common mistake I see
  • 00:02:32
    they in the name of diversification and
  • 00:02:35
    asset allocation they just buy more of
  • 00:02:37
    the same thing and that's from Petey
  • 00:02:42
    waiting for a suitable time to invest
  • 00:02:44
    this waiting waiting for a suitable time
  • 00:02:47
    to invest is okay but the problem is
  • 00:02:49
    that many people don't have a method
  • 00:02:51
    they just ask people can I use now
  • 00:02:53
    should I wait for the market to kudo the
  • 00:02:55
    market is at an all-time high
  • 00:02:57
    I just talked about two to three days
  • 00:02:58
    ago absolutely wait until Direction's
  • 00:03:00
    are worth why why should you wait what
  • 00:03:02
    logic is that the day after you invested
  • 00:03:05
    the market crashes what we do
  • 00:03:06
    this is absolutely no logic is there are
  • 00:03:10
    people who are methods they will they
  • 00:03:12
    will have friends they will look at the
  • 00:03:14
    nifty PE they for wait for it to reach a
  • 00:03:17
    certain level before they put in money
  • 00:03:18
    or give you money they will have
  • 00:03:20
    indicators like 200-day moving averages
  • 00:03:23
    or whatever double moving averages
  • 00:03:24
    whatever it is I have a valuation for me
  • 00:03:27
    you can have it so people want a method
  • 00:03:30
    and will not ask but and they're not
  • 00:03:32
    going to do it but of course you should
  • 00:03:36
    people if you also be if you also like
  • 00:03:38
    those techniques if you stick to one of
  • 00:03:40
    those methods otherwise to be a oh just
  • 00:03:44
    wait for a suitable time you must either
  • 00:03:46
    you have a method to manage risk or you
  • 00:03:50
    keep on just keep investing
  • 00:03:53
    systematically and do systematic risk
  • 00:03:56
    management don't wait for the rate for a
  • 00:04:01
    suitable time to invest I have showed
  • 00:04:02
    you also I've shown in another video
  • 00:04:04
    that are investing on dips alone will
  • 00:04:07
    not like it so I mean this has no use
  • 00:04:14
    that's made in that sense
  • 00:04:18
    expecting a return for market limits
  • 00:04:20
    rheumatism is a dramatic statement to
  • 00:04:24
    make but this is wrong
  • 00:04:25
    unfortunately this is true I mean you
  • 00:04:27
    can't say I'm expecting 15 percent
  • 00:04:29
    return from Sensex for next 20 years or
  • 00:04:32
    reapers return from Indian stock markets
  • 00:04:35
    overall and so on are from this mutual
  • 00:04:37
    fund off from that region that doesn't
  • 00:04:39
    work because the range of returns the
  • 00:04:42
    the possible sprinting returns over 10
  • 00:04:45
    years 15 years 20 years of the stock
  • 00:04:47
    market is very very huge the only reason
  • 00:04:50
    why you do not see such a range in the
  • 00:04:52
    Indian stock market is because of less
  • 00:04:54
    data I have just purchased sama S&P 500
  • 00:04:59
    did they tie yesterday and I from 1927
  • 00:05:02
    onwards and I have the Rolly returns
  • 00:05:04
    data I'll show you
  • 00:05:05
    30 years data I will still to actuate a
  • 00:05:07
    lot and you do not beat inflation on so
  • 00:05:09
    don't make such assumptions it's wrong
  • 00:05:12
    and expect 10 percent 20 percent you
  • 00:05:15
    will not get it the what is the
  • 00:05:18
    alternative then the alternative is to
  • 00:05:20
    not focus on returns is to focus on your
  • 00:05:23
    corpus what is the carpus I need for my
  • 00:05:25
    goal and keep an eye on that I've been
  • 00:05:29
    telling this again and again in addition
  • 00:05:31
    to rebalancing every year and so on or
  • 00:05:34
    whether you want to tactical in addition
  • 00:05:35
    to it whatever it is keep an eye on that
  • 00:05:38
    corpus because that is your goal you are
  • 00:05:40
    good you cannot eat with returns you
  • 00:05:42
    need money to eat all you need money to
  • 00:05:44
    send your kids to college you cannot
  • 00:05:46
    send your kids to college with returns
  • 00:05:48
    right so keep an eye on that gradually
  • 00:05:53
    push money to save for assets and you
  • 00:05:56
    don't worry about anything else on the
  • 00:05:58
    paper it talks push it to say for assets
  • 00:06:00
    then you will be then you can face any
  • 00:06:02
    crisis I told you in my audits that what
  • 00:06:05
    I have done is that I not have enough
  • 00:06:07
    money my kid is only nine years old but
  • 00:06:08
    I have enough money to send him to UT
  • 00:06:10
    degree now so I can handle a market
  • 00:06:14
    crash today which I was still not my
  • 00:06:16
    goal will not be affected of course I
  • 00:06:17
    need be emotionally affected all that
  • 00:06:19
    will happen but my goal will haunt you
  • 00:06:21
    so that is the way to manage this son
  • 00:06:24
    that is what you should do do not expect
  • 00:06:25
    the returns from investments marketing
  • 00:06:29
    that you can really expect
  • 00:06:31
    it's overconfidence based on past data
  • 00:06:36
    people say a stock market Indian stock
  • 00:06:38
    market has always given 15% always given
  • 00:06:41
    10% this you know itself this is wrong
  • 00:06:44
    if you actually look at rolling Ritter
  • 00:06:45
    this is not true and I have seen people
  • 00:06:47
    and awesome ideas of wealth Facebook
  • 00:06:48
    group say last three years ago liquid
  • 00:06:51
    parts of get 9% returns it's justice
  • 00:06:53
    that's because it was sort of even that
  • 00:06:56
    occurred that gave you that that doesn't
  • 00:06:58
    mean when you started missing you will
  • 00:07:00
    get 90% returns in Utah have you got 90%
  • 00:07:02
    returns in the last three years in
  • 00:07:03
    liquid funds no the same people who
  • 00:07:05
    claim that I'm not guarded
  • 00:07:06
    this is stupidity just look at last few
  • 00:07:09
    years later and say recency bias right
  • 00:07:11
    that's completely wrong don't do that
  • 00:07:14
    oh my god this is so annoying feeling
  • 00:07:19
    that mean to know more about every new
  • 00:07:22
    product I my inbox is filled with means
  • 00:07:25
    have you this nfo have you seen this in
  • 00:07:29
    what for okay though I benefit from
  • 00:07:33
    reviewing every enough oh because people

    will read it people will view it I will
  • 00:07:37
    get my money out of it that's the only
  • 00:07:40
    use what is the use for you most of the
  • 00:07:43
    people who are interested in levels will
  • 00:07:44
    probably not even vest in it or they
  • 00:07:46
    leave a small amount doing it for more
  • 00:07:49
    what use is it for don't waste your time
  • 00:07:53
    learning about every new product in town
  • 00:07:56
    small K is alpha I say P Vita I said we
  • 00:07:59
    look the I mean the guys who talk about
  • 00:08:02
    these are played basically sales guys we
  • 00:08:04
    Dana cannot be strictly sales guys they
  • 00:08:06
    may be they are part of the company so
  • 00:08:08
    there they obviously have a conflict of
  • 00:08:09
    interest and then we'll paint people
  • 00:08:11
    rosy picture either you should know how
  • 00:08:14
    to you should spend your time and
  • 00:08:16
    analyze the data otherwise don't bother
  • 00:08:18
    you're not going to miss out everything
  • 00:08:19
    will just be about not knowing you're
  • 00:08:21
    wasting your time go get yourself a new
  • 00:08:23
    hobby it's a complete waste of my
  • 00:08:25
    suppose that's what is keeping people
  • 00:08:28
    like me I like appealing after open the
  • 00:08:30
    blogging business I have to write
  • 00:08:32
    something the Center for that can fo be
  • 00:08:38
    suffering from small exposure syndrome I
  • 00:08:40
    have separate video for this this is
  • 00:08:43
    not focusing on the big picture and
  • 00:08:46
    saying you get 50,000 packs saving
  • 00:08:49
    advantage from NTS why would one every
  • 00:08:51
    years because the truth is are you
  • 00:08:53
    actually investing you probably need to
  • 00:08:55
    invest three or four and more than that
  • 00:08:58
    for your retirement are you actually
  • 00:09:00
    investing that way if that is right then
  • 00:09:02
    you not worry about these 50,000 tax
  • 00:09:03
    changes psychological lineal benefits
  • 00:09:07
    Lou and having say I will have small
  • 00:09:09
    exposure of international stocks I will
  • 00:09:11
    have small explosion I see series coming
  • 00:09:13
    with a new mmmm sick fun I will have fun
  • 00:09:15
    I will take 5% exposure to it I will
  • 00:09:17
    take 5% exposure to use t next 50
  • 00:09:19
    because everybody is talking about it
  • 00:09:21
    this is this stupidity will not thank
  • 00:09:23
    you sorry
  • 00:09:25
    it's unproductive it not make any
  • 00:09:28
    difference now judging mistake whoops so
  • 00:09:38
    not having yardsticks from judging big
  • 00:09:42
    or small what is what is the how you
  • 00:09:44
    determine what what is with respect to
  • 00:09:47
    what and what is a lump sum with respect
  • 00:09:51
    to what I mean have suffer if I have 100
  • 00:09:55
    lakhs in the market if I am they receive
  • 00:09:58
    5 lakhs that's not a lump sum for me I
  • 00:10:00
    just put it in the market that's it
  • 00:10:02
    that's not a lump sum phone if my salary
  • 00:10:04
    is 3 lakhs a month under this a 1 life
  • 00:10:07
    that's not a so middle and I will be
  • 00:10:11
    interesting I hope I am investing 1 and
  • 00:10:12
    half lakhs among the blacks every month
  • 00:10:17
    so you should have a yardstick for
  • 00:10:20
    everything before you judge there's
  • 00:10:23
    nothing big or small as absolute
  • 00:10:25
    big with respect to what small with
  • 00:10:27
    respect to what that with respect to
  • 00:10:29
    what is missing in the case of most
  • 00:10:31
    investors they don't have a yardstick at
  • 00:10:33
    all you should have a yardstick for
  • 00:10:35
    returns you should have a yardstick for
  • 00:10:37
    risk for example somebody told me I was
  • 00:10:43
    a commenter and it seemed that article
  • 00:10:44
    do there's a value research have have
  • 00:10:46
    shown that all mutual fund SATs 7 years
  • 00:10:50
    and above have never given negative
  • 00:10:52
    returns so if I
  • 00:10:54
    in us in a mutual fund s IP for seven
  • 00:10:56
    years I invested it for 17 years and I
  • 00:10:58
    find that my return is 2% I will be
  • 00:11:00
    happy I have taken so much risk to my
  • 00:11:03
    university in an equal TSI be fine for
  • 00:11:05
    equity say and I get a return of just
  • 00:11:07
    one or two percent that's not negative
  • 00:11:09
    so it that that doesn't mean I've not
  • 00:11:11
    made a loss of course I've made a loss
  • 00:11:13
    because the real return is it over the
  • 00:11:15
    inflation is so much higher so please
  • 00:11:17
    have the yardstick for judging big small
  • 00:11:20
    good bad or giving whatever it is so
  • 00:11:23
    other unless you have the yardstick you
  • 00:11:25
    cannot make judgments this is a big one
  • 00:11:29
    people ask you oh I have to talk my
  • 00:11:33
    investments I have to consolidate all my
  • 00:11:36
    investments
  • 00:11:36
    I want a portal where I can consolidate
  • 00:11:38
    everything oh god six
  • 00:11:41
    leave your money alone wanna know who is
  • 00:11:47
    the biggest enemy for your money who is
  • 00:11:50
    stopping you from becoming rich go look
  • 00:11:53

    you should wad I would suggest you
  • 00:12:07
    create an excel sheet let's say every
  • 00:12:10
    December or every let's say June
  • 00:12:12
    whatever it is after year you all look
  • 00:12:15
    at it review it takes will she do it
  • 00:12:18
    again next your money maybe say if you
  • 00:12:22
    will be fine don't track your
  • 00:12:23
    investments watched kittens don't boy
  • 00:12:26
    you just keep worrying about
  • 00:12:28
    advertisements and do something wrong
  • 00:12:29
    don't don't just don't
  • 00:12:32
    it is completely unproductive some
  • 00:12:35
    people say I watch every day but I don't
  • 00:12:38
    do anything why are you watching them go
  • 00:12:41
    get a life man Oh
  • 00:12:45
    assuming information is power
  • 00:12:47
    I've talked about information try it
  • 00:12:49
    again and again and again stop thinking
  • 00:12:53
    that you have to knowable what that guy
  • 00:12:55
    has written what this guy has written
  • 00:12:57
    what what they are saying about this
  • 00:13:00
    product that product no information is
  • 00:13:02
    not power information is confusion
  • 00:13:04
    information decision stay
  • 00:13:07
    knowledge is power and knowledge is lack
  • 00:13:12
    of information
  • 00:13:13
    don't-don't-don't I have told it I've
  • 00:13:17
    said this many times or in the video as
  • 00:13:18
    well and say it again stop watching my
  • 00:13:20
    channel if your money or management is
  • 00:13:22
    in place so other URL to share the
  • 00:13:26
    videos to your friends who who you think
  • 00:13:28
    need some help you graduate more way no
  • 00:13:34
    point
  • 00:13:34
    watching I'm saying the same garbage
  • 00:13:37
    again and again ray have you not noticed
  • 00:13:39
    if you have not noticed a pattern in
  • 00:13:42
    what I am saying if you think you have
  • 00:13:45
    learned from my channel or if you think
  • 00:13:48
    what I'm turning out every day is useful
  • 00:13:54
    then you must notice a pattern in my
  • 00:13:55
    savings you if you do not notice a
  • 00:13:57
    pattern and something is wrong
  • 00:13:59
    stop stop watching if you have noticed a
  • 00:14:02
    pattern stop watch then also stopped
  • 00:14:04
    watching because you are you have an
  • 00:14:06
    inert I am no longer useful that's the
  • 00:14:08
    point get that pattern once you get the
  • 00:14:10
    pattern or do something else don't think
  • 00:14:13
    about money and this is a common mistake
  • 00:14:16
    assuming more risk is more returns are
  • 00:14:18
    you I am yeah I will I will invest in
  • 00:14:21
    small caps more of sno-caps more of
  • 00:14:24
    Metcalf's
  • 00:14:24
    I don't want large caps large gaps I
  • 00:14:26
    will new to large caps manage become 30
  • 00:14:28
    or 40 years old years worldwide this is
  • 00:14:31
    just garbage this is absolutely wrong
  • 00:14:34
    I've shown this is not true it doesn't
  • 00:14:37
    work you must have but diversify what
  • 00:14:40
    for you with proper risk management at
  • 00:14:44
    all times whatever your age and most
  • 00:14:47
    people don't know and another mistake
  • 00:14:49
    which is very rigid to do this I have
  • 00:14:51
    not actually written it down explicitly
  • 00:14:52
    is I have largely skeptical you don't
  • 00:14:56
    know anything about your cabinet unless
  • 00:14:58
    and until your software crash most
  • 00:15:00
    people who are if you are investing in
  • 00:15:02
    the capital markets today I have not
  • 00:15:04
    seen anything any big losses and some
  • 00:15:08
    people say
  • 00:15:10
    equity market will be volatile in the
  • 00:15:12
    short term only you got long term things
  • 00:15:15
    will be okay how is it possible the
  • 00:15:18
    short term losses or gains concatenate
  • 00:15:21
    create the loss of the game everything
  • 00:15:24
    matters sequence of returns matter if
  • 00:15:26
    you do not understand sequence of return
  • 00:15:28
    you will never manage the risk I have a
  • 00:15:31
    video on that maybe a couple of videos
  • 00:15:32
    and that means because this is an
  • 00:15:35
    extremely important animal returns how
  • 00:15:41
    these annual returns stack up they
  • 00:15:43
    determine what happens to your final
  • 00:15:46
    results and this is another problem
  • 00:15:50
    locking up money is good to waste if you
  • 00:15:53
    can spend knocking is good NPS locking
  • 00:15:56
    is good VP of lock-in is good doesn't
  • 00:15:58
    have much of a lot people a relatively
  • 00:16:01
    heal this was knocking is good Ives
  • 00:16:03
    I heard all sort of nonsense this is not
  • 00:16:06
    a liquidity when you what are the
  • 00:16:09
    aspects of an investment that will take
  • 00:16:11
    care of four of them risk return
  • 00:16:15
    liquidity taxation and expenses these
  • 00:16:19
    are the four pillars of an impersonal
  • 00:16:21
    they have to be favorable in certain
  • 00:16:27
    cases yes a locking is inevitable
  • 00:16:30
    unavoidable mandatory then you work the
  • 00:16:33
    homes and make sure you have enough
  • 00:16:35
    money elsewhere so you make up for it
  • 00:16:37
    that's okay but these are the four
  • 00:16:39
    pillars of investor you have to consider
  • 00:16:43
    all of them at least be aware of them
  • 00:16:45
    and take action corrective action
  • 00:16:48
    elsewhere if you cannot work the wrong
  • 00:16:50
    otherwise it's a common are shooting
  • 00:16:53
    investing in stocks is better than you
  • 00:16:54
    German this is another common beginner
  • 00:16:56
    mistake see it is possible for a direct
  • 00:16:59
    stock investor to be the mutual fund
  • 00:17:01
    manager it is definitely possible but do
  • 00:17:04
    not confuse possibility and probability
  • 00:17:09
    possibility is zero and one
  • 00:17:12
    it's binary possible or not possible
  • 00:17:15
    that's all probability is zero to one
  • 00:17:18
    anything between 0 to 1 this problem you
  • 00:17:21
    do not know the probability there's no
  • 00:17:23
    you cannot judge
  • 00:17:26
    the different possibility called
  • 00:17:28
    possible data canisters performance and
  • 00:17:31
    compare it with one - that's not
  • 00:17:32
    possible
  • 00:17:33
    yes sir so you cannot talk about
  • 00:17:36
    probability all you can do is you say
  • 00:17:39
    it's possible yes it's possible to be
  • 00:17:41
    but then you start investing direct
  • 00:17:45
    equity will you beat fund managers
  • 00:17:47
    nobody can say and this is another
  • 00:17:52
    problem I want to I want to move by the
  • 00:17:56
    fund manager as increased allocation
  • 00:17:57
    cash why as they might have they bought
  • 00:18:00
    this stock why have they sold this stock
  • 00:18:03
    you can sit and talk about it for hours
  • 00:18:05
    and hours and hours you never understand
  • 00:18:07
    it unless and until you are invited to
  • 00:18:09
    their fund management meeting table and
  • 00:18:12
    you will never be invited even if you
  • 00:18:14
    are invited to the meetings they will
  • 00:18:15
    never tell you the real reason do not
  • 00:18:18
    back try to backseat Drive your mutual
  • 00:18:20
    funds outsource money management do
  • 00:18:23
    something else look at it from time to
  • 00:18:25
    time but tune back see me regularly
  • 00:18:28
    funny
  • 00:18:30
    market timing there are two there are
  • 00:18:31
    two incorrect assumptions market timing
  • 00:18:33
    is not possible that is the incorrect
  • 00:18:35
    assumption this is a this is the problem
  • 00:18:37
    that has been this is a missile in by
  • 00:18:39
    the financial services industry because
  • 00:18:41
    they're worried that commissions will be
  • 00:18:42
    lost on their profits will be affected
  • 00:18:44
    market timing and the other wrong
  • 00:18:46
    mistake is that market timing extreme
  • 00:18:48
    people who packed the markets they say
  • 00:18:50
    that they want to time the market to get
  • 00:18:52
    more returns both of them are missed are
  • 00:18:54
    wrong market timing is definitely
  • 00:18:57
    possible and market timing has got very
  • 00:19:02
    high probability of lowering investment
  • 00:19:05
    risk and just about the coin toss
  • 00:19:08
    probability 50% this way or that way
  • 00:19:11
    coin toss probability of enhancing
  • 00:19:14
    returns it has got more than 50 percent
  • 00:19:16
    probability of lowering risk and it has
  • 00:19:22
    got just about borderline probability of
  • 00:19:25
    enhancing return sometimes risk will be
  • 00:19:28
    sorry this will more often than not be
  • 00:19:31
    lower but along with that sometimes
  • 00:19:33
    returns will be high sometimes returns
  • 00:19:36
    will be low
  • 00:19:37
    and another common mistake is related to
  • 00:19:40
    the Dolph is a peaking people who say I
  • 00:19:42
    have got alpha arse higher alpha does
  • 00:19:45
    not mean higher returns don't confuse
  • 00:19:47
    your another higher alpha means for a
  • 00:19:49
    particular level of risk the return is
  • 00:19:51
    justifiable and that's what alpha
  • 00:19:53
    essentially means after I have respected
  • 00:19:55
    video on this do not get country do not
  • 00:19:57
    confuse alpha and higher returns that's
  • 00:19:59
    another mistake as I'm just talking
  • 00:20:03
    about that so I can keep going there are
  • 00:20:05
    other mistakes please share in the
  • 00:20:08
