No Matter how much you have learnt or read or been exposed to, the reality of Investing is that you can never be certain about the outcomes. Every decision has odds attached to it and hence it comes down to insight, intuition, foresight, clarity, and even luck. The goal of this podcast is to learn how we can make better decisions that increase our odds for favorable outcomes. Hosts, Jai Lawrence and Manish Gvalani hope to offer you an informed perspective that could help you in becoming a better investor and a thoughtful player in your chosen endeavor.

    S2 E18# Long & Short World of Active Investing

    "The biggest risk of all is not taking one." — Mellody Hobson This episode covers the world of long-short hedge funds. These too are available for investors globally and if managed well, they could provide market-beating returns, especially in times of high volatility.  The intent of this episode is to educate you in a way that helps you make an informed choice. The plethora of options can be a constraint for an uninformed investor, whereas it can be a toolkit for the informed one.

    E15# Lessons from a year gone by..

    E14# The Importance of Economic Moats

    “Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.” - Warren Buffet Stock Investing gets exciting with changing times, but it tends to get tougher too. Especially today, when the disruptive forces are leading to rapid changes in the index constituents and powerhouses of yesterday are being reduced to a fraction of their past glories. The few that have survived the onslaught of technology and innovation, deserve a whole pod on them and the secrets behind their magic. Few resources discussed - Understanding Michael Porter - Joan Magretta Harvard Business Review Video on the Five Forces

    E13# Stimmy Checks & Interest Rates

    “Democracy cannot function or survive without a sufficient medium by which citizens remain informed and engaged in public policy debates.” ― Nancy Snow The last 2 years have seen the government use every tool in its arsenal to deal with the economic disruption that COVID brought onto the world. No wonder we see umpteen publications covering debates on Stimulus Checks, Money Printing, Tax Cuts, Interest Rate Cuts, Hyperinflation, and asset inflation as its aftermath. Hence it becomes increasingly important to understand these tools in detail and the tough choices government has to face on daily basis. We have also shared below the links to the resources discussed in the pod # - Pragmatic Capitalism Book  - PragCap Blog's Recommended Reading  - Ray Dalio's Youtube Video on 'How the Economic Machine Works'

    E12# All that glitters is GOLD

    "From a strictly economic point of view, buying gold in a major inflation and holding it probably presents the least risk of capital loss of any investment or speculation." - Henry Hazlitt, WSJ & New York Times Journalist Gold has captured the attention and imagination of investors, speculators, hoarders, pirates, kings, bankers, and many more. Over centuries, it has played various roles i.e. long-term investment, store of value, medium of exchange, and inflation hedge. It's no wonder that hundreds of movies have been based on the pursuit of this glittering compound and hundred more books have been written to profit from its volatility or lack thereof.  In today's episode, we discuss Gold as an Investment in modern times and supplement the argument with its antithesis too. We also discuss the options available to take exposure to this asset class.  If we see gold prices go up from here, we hope to have played some role in contributing to the glittering asset class :)
