10 A Personal Story People are under the impression that economists coming off the graduate school are immersed in investing theory and practice. This isn t necessarily true. Economists spend a great deal of time developing mathematical models and studying the principles that guide markets, but very little time in studying institutions, including financial markets and the behavior of investors I do know this very well. When I graduated with a Ph.D. in Economics, sometime in the last century, I had no idea about investing. That s why I hired Sam to manage my little savings chest. The problem, however, is that Sam didn t manage my money himself. He handed it to a mutual fund manager. In the first two years, my portfolio was performing modestly, earning a little-bit more than the money market account it was invested in before it was handed over to Sam. But when the stock market crashed in 1987, it lost 30 percent of its value! In the beginning, I was angry with Sam because he failed to explain to me the risks my portfolio was exposed tothough he handed me a 50-page prospectus that explained these risks in a batch of footnotes. The truth of the matter, however, is that equity markets are highly volatile, and at times crash. But they usually recover. Anyone who was in the market at that time suffered losses in the neighborhood of 30 percent; no one could have anticipated the crash with certainty; following a big dose of money injections by the Fed chairman Alan Greenspan, the market recovered quickly and investors x
11 A Personal Story xi who stayed put and weathered the storm (or even better doubled-down) did very well over a 12-month period. Not me. By then, I had already cashed my chips counting my losses. That s when I stopped being angry with Sam and became angry with myself, raising a question again and again: what did Sam know about investing that I didn t? What were his credentials? A Series 7 (Federal) and a Series 63 (New York State) securities license. Before long, I did fire Sam, took the necessary exams, and became a licensed investment advisor myself. My career as an investment advisor was brief, as I was disenchanted with the way the industry operates. Besides, I was too sophisticated to be a good salesperson. But my career as an individual investor has been long and taught me valuable lessons which I discuss in Forbes.com, Barron s, Seekingalpha.com, and this book.
12 Preface: Why Another Investment Book Every now and then, scores of books burst off the press telling people how to invest their money, especially at times of financial turmoil, when investing becomes more challenging as has been the case in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The vast majority of these books are written by four kinds of authors, investment gurus with an exceptional investment track record, financial practitioners, motivational speakers, and academicians. Books written by investment gurus provide investors with practical tips of managing money, but they usually suffer from two deficiencies, the lack of theoretical foundations and the overgeneralization of their performance. In Common Sense Investing, legendary Magellan Fund manager Peter Lynch tells investors to buy the stocks of well-known companies that have been happy doing business with, the Procter Gambles, the McDonalds, the Wal-Marts, the Sears, the Walgreens and the Nikes of the world. The trouble with this approach, however, is that financial markets are discounting mechanisms. This means that they have already discounted all the good news, and investors who trade them may end up buying high and selling low. Besides, not every well-known company enhances shareholder value, and some go belly-up. For every Wal-Mart, there is a Kmart that was salvaged by Sears Holdings; and for every Nike, there is an LA Gear which filed for bankruptcy. Peter Lynch s strategy may further xii
13 Preface: Why Another Investment Book xiii lead to a localization bias, whereby investors opt to buy the stocks of local companies as they are more familiar with the companies in their neighborhood than those in distant lands. Obviously, common sense must extend beyond the familiarity with a corporation and its products to its business model and financials, which make it a good investment proposition. Books penned by financial practitioners and motivational speakers, who usually run popular TV shows, oversimplify investing, sometimes telling investors things that may contradict economic theory and financial history. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, some financial practitioners told the clients concerned about the crisis to stay with stocks, as stocks are doing well in the long-term. While these practitioners are right in principle (and was vindicated up to now 2012), there are notable exceptions with catastrophic consequences. Just try to give this advise to Japanese investors who have been holding on to stocks for the period , whereby the Nikkei Index was down 80 percent! Books penned by academicians usually address these deficiencies but are too long and too abstract; tend to ignore the history of markets; separate the economics of investing from the psychology of investing; and fail to connect effectively with the average investor. Benjamin Graham and David Dodd s classic Security Analysis, for instance, is too long and too complex for the average investor who isn t well versed in corporate accounting. Robert A. Haugen s Inefficient Stock Market is also too heavy for the average investor who isn t well versed in econometrics and statistics. Apparently, there is a gap between books from the academic literature, which is built around well-articulated premises but caters to a small crowd, and the more accessible books written by investment gurus and financial planners but lack theoretical foundations. To bridge this gap, this book begins with the premise that investing is both a game of economics and psychology. As a game of economics, investing involves the basic principles of economics that help investors identify financial goals and constraints, and come up with the right asset and portfolio allocation strategy, as outlined in the first three chapters. As a game of psychology, investing involves the basic principles of psychology that helps investors develop and maintain an intelligent state of mind by staying focused on their financial plan, and avoiding
14 xiv Preface: Why Another Investment Book costly cognitive biases and errors associated with emotional investing, as outlined in the last two chapters. The principles of the two disciplines, however, are introduced only when needed to make investment decisions, and presented in a nontechnical fashion. The concept of business cycles, for instance, is introduced to explain how expansions and contractions affect asset allocation. The concept of sustainable competitive advantage is used to explain why some companies make good long-term investments, while others don t. The prospect theory is introduced to explain how pride and regret leads to disposition effect, whereby investors are quick to book gains, but they procrastinate to take losses. Another innovation of the book that separates and sets it apart from other do-it-yourself books is that it breaks and summarizes the art of investing into six simple rules. If you are an active investor anxious to learn the tips and the tricks of investing in financial markets, this book is addressed to you. If you are a passive investor looking to hire a professional adviser, a student in economics and finance anxious to apply what you learn in the classroom to Wall Street, the six rules were written with you in mind. By reading this book, you will learn: Why investors engage in harmful behavior like overtrading, being in the market when valuations are high and out of the markets when valuations are low, and why they sell winning stocks and hold on to losing stocks. How to apply basic economics to make wise investment decisions. How to apply basic psychology to develop and maintain an intelligent state of mind.
