The Stingy News Weekly: 07/21/2024 Stingy Links Don't take the last dollar "Ultimately, the best way to negotiate is to not take the last dollar. It's to always negotiate as if you're playing an infinite game. Of course, no game is truly infinite. But, you should act as if it is in almost all cases. Even when you know that an infinite game is ending (i.e. becoming finite), you should still pretend its infinite. Why? Because how you behave in those situations will follow you. It's your reputation you have to worry about. And your reputation is an infinite game. It lives on even after you're gone." [Behaviour] A time traveler's guide "Although he did note that actually these long-term performers had somewhat moderate returns - on an annualized basis - compared to the companies that periodically pop up throughout stock market history through surging and capturing the imagination of an entire generation of investors, before ultimately fizzling out. Think RCA in the 1920s, Polaroid in the 1960s, or Cisco in the 1990s. 'Really high returns,' he wrote to us. 'Don't persist.'" [Markets] Highest long-term returns "Annualized compound returns to these top performers relatively were modest, averaging 13.47% across the top seventeen stocks, thereby affirming the importance of 'time in the market.'" [History] Neglecting equilibrium "The biggest difference between an academic view of markets and the view of actual investors is that most investors believe that higher future earnings growth means higher future stock returns, whereas academics believe this information is priced in by an efficient market." [Markets] Overconfidence and emergency planning "The median subjective emergency fund ratio is 1.4, indicating that most respondents perceive their emergency funds to cover only 1.4 months of expenses. Only 28% of respondents perceive that they need at least three months of emergency funds. Overconfident respondents perceive a significantly lower emergency fund ratio compared to those with appropriately high financial knowledge. The overconfident group reported their emergency needs to be 21.4% lower than those with higher objective and subjective financial knowledge." [Behaviour] Asset managers' profits get thinner "In addition to feeble inflows and weaker company brands, the cost of doing business as an asset manager continues to meaningfully rise. Operating expenses grew at a rate between 2020 to 2023 that has cut into profits. The growth rate for data and technology was 13 percent over those three years; operations was 9 percent; business and support functions was 6 percent; investment management was 5 percent; and sales and marketing was 4 percent."
