BC VALUE INVESTING
Saved by @shanki03

Once you realize that your entire mission is to value businesses & pay much less than they're worth, it's incredibly liberating. Joel Greenblatt told me this simple idea "gets rid of 99% of everything else that anyone had ever told me about how to look at the world & the market."

 "If you see it that simply & can keep that simplicity in your mind, it's very compelling & almost makes a lot of what else you see look silly," says Greenblatt... Indeed, you start to realize that much of the investment world is engaged in fruitless nonsense. —#richerwiserhappier
"People are crazy & emotional," Joel Greenblatt told me. "They buy & sell things in an emotional way, not a logical way, & that's the only reason why we have any opportunity."
"So if you have a way to value businesses that's disciplined & makes sense," says Greenblatt, "you should be able to take advantage of other people's emotions."
"It's a very small fraction of people that can value businesses—and if you can't do that, I don't think you should be investing on your own," says Joel Greenblatt. "How can you invest intelligently if you can't figure out what something is worth?"
"Choosing individual stocks without any idea of what you're looking for is like running through a dynamite factory with a burning match. You may live, but you're still an idiot." —Joel Greenblatt
"There aren't that many great opportunities," Joel Greenblatt told me. "I was looking for low hurdles—things that other people would have bought, too, if they'd done the work."
"You size your positions based on how much risk you're taking," Joel Greenblatt told me. "I don't buy more of the ones I can make the most money on. I buy more of the ones that I CAN'T lose money on."
Warren Buffett added "one little, simple twist," which made him one of the richest people in the world," Joel Greenblatt told me. "Buying cheap is great—& if I can buy GOOD businesses cheap, even better."
What Joel Greenblatt came to realize is that it all boiled down to this: Buy good businesses at bargain prices. This combines the purified essence of Ben Graham & Warren Buffett. —#richerwiserhappier

1/ Thread: "A Silicon Valley Ponzi Scheme"

Thanks to @chamath for laying this out in Social Capital's 2018 annual letter.

I've always appreciated his outspokenness.

2/ The hardest thing for most startups today is the path to market: first finding product-market fit & a way to reach customers, then building a ruthless machine to acquire, monetize & retain them.

3/ Because of this, when the VC industry invests capital into fast growing startups today, the plurality (if not majority) of invested capital will go into user acquisition and ad spending, for better or worse— usually worse.

4/ Todays massive venture-backed advertising, sales, and user acquisition playbook has morphed into one that champions growth at any cost.

This is creating a big bill that will soon come due...

5/ Ad impressions and click-throughs are bid up to outrageous prices by startups flush with venture money, and prospective users demand more and more subsidized products to gain their initial attention.

This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.

Ashta Siddhi

Ashta Siddhi is mentioned in Patanjali Yog sutra and can be obtained by very few through countless years of practice and devotion to all eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.

Siddhi can loosely be translated as accomplishment or a special power or unusual skill.


The eight Siddhis are:

1. Anima: Reducing one’s physical self to the size of an atom.

2. Mahima: Expanding one’s physical self to infinite level

3. Garima: Making one’s physical self so heavy as immovable by others

4. Laghima: Becoming almost weightless


5. Prapti: Being able travel anywhere in the Universe

6. Prakamya: Can know & understand what is going on in one’s mind. Can understand other person’s min.

7. Ishitva: Possessing title of Bhagwan

8. Vashitva: A seeker can subdue any person/thing

(Hanuman Jayanti is coming)


Hanumanji not only possessed all eight siddhis, but was also blessed by Sita mata as “Ashta Siddhi Nau Nidhi Ke Daata”.

When Hanumanji first reaches to Lanka on his mission to find Sita, he makes use of anima so as to be discrete in enemy territory.


He uses it again when he approaches Sita mata for the first time – reducing his size to that of a schoolboy, to avoid scaring her. He uses mahima to outwit & overpowers
the demons.
