    Today in a podcast style episode I welcome my friend Adam Robinson who has had possibly the most interesting career of anyone I know. He was a teenage Chess prodigy who trained with Bobby Fischer as Fischer prepared to play Boris Spassky for the 1972 world championship - in what has gone on to be known as The Match of The Century. He was an undergrad at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and later earned a law degree at Oxford University. He cracked the SAT and other standardized tests launching the Princeton Review Company - which he later sold. Adam is an Artificial Intelligence pioneer, a quantitative trader, a New York Times best-selling author, and an all-round master of strategy. His company Robinson Global Strategies provides macro research to some of the world’s most successful hedge funds. Adam's newest book How Not to be Stupid is one of the very few books to be endorsed by Warren Buffett.

    Investing does not need to be complicated. In fact, the simpler the better in my opinion. I'm retired and did so at age 42 with about $1.1M for two people. We had an advisor from Morgan Stanley in our corner. Maxed 401k for many years and then saved additional in index funds in taxable account. Our rate of return has been around 10% percent per year in the taxable account over the last 10 years.

    • @Eljifzw

      Agreed. I have some fun money in RH but the big majority is managed by Morgan Stanley. I’m actually outperforming them this year but the value they’ve added in other ways over the last several is well worth it for me.

      I use vanguard personal advisor services. They charge 0.3% a year.
      I could tell you what he has me invested in, but AGE matters so much. I am 52 and retired. So I have stocks and bonds. Stocks are in "Vanguard total stock market fund", and some in "Vanguard international fund". There might be a third similar one.
      I'd have to look at my bond fund. For you at age thirty, mostly stocks is advised.

    The most popular investment portfolio strategies include diversification, where you spread investments across different asset classes to manage risk. Another is the growth strategy, focused on capital appreciation through high-risk, high-reward assets. Income-oriented strategies target regular income from dividend stocks or bonds. Finally, there's the value strategy, seeking undervalued assets for potential long-term gains.

      According to Warren Buffett, dividends are less valuable for growing businesses and more suitable for established ones. Investing in companies that offer dividends might be seen as parking capital for steady returns, especially for those relying on portfolio income. This approach resembles bond investing, serving as a means of generating consistent earnings.

      It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to over $750k.

    Omg. The Yo-Yo Ma thing. I did something similar way back in college. Had a calculus final and the prof said, "Don't forget to bubble in your answers on the scantron or you'll get a zero." I finished the 90-minute exam and FORGOT to bubble in my answers. It only occurred to me once I was back in my dorm what I'd done. I rushed to find my professor and miraculously caught him walking on the sidewalk in a different part of our massive campus. Thankfully he was very gracious about it, and he bubbled in the scantron in front me right there on the sidewalk (he had our exams in his bag). Never felt so relieved in my life.

    "If we need so many training data for our models, than the models are not good enough!" One of the truer truth ever spoken, the AI bubble will burst with a bang, I wish I had more money to short it.

    • @JohnSmith-rr8hp
      @JohnSmith-rr8hp Місяць тому +2

      the only AI bubble is the refusal of ppl who have missed out to acknowledge it. For the big tech companies, it's a life and death situation for their relevancy, the struggle to not become myspace. Even if the big tech overspent on it in the short term, without anything to show for it. But if it in turns guarantee their continuous survival, it is worth it, and they have boatload of cash to spend.
      But hey, I could very well be wrong, and short it all you want, that's why we have a market :)

    Enjoyed this episode. You might be aware that error analysis is also systematically performed in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It involves ‚deviation management‘, ‚root cause analysis‘, and ‚Corrective and preventive actions‘. Manufacturing companies have whole teams working on this (by regulatory needs). Your locked-out story is a perfect example of this working.
    So it is not checklists we should implement in many aspects of life, but systematic error analysis

    • @FullLengthInterstates
      @FullLengthInterstates 29 днів тому

      Error analysis is a bit difficult when you don't have accurate record of events. Whenever I'm in a close call when driving, I make a point to review the dashcam footage as soon as I get to my destination. I've listened to all of the NTSB's youtube board meetings and I wish body cams were normalized on civilians.
      Whether the solution to each incident is checklists or not comes down to the specific situation. An excellent application for checklists is as a reminder for how to operate a machine you are trained on but rarely use.

      @@adamrobinson8351 Hospital error is caused by crazy long shifts, caused by understaffing because the AMA has an incentive to set standards excessively high to preserve the income of its members. Its why American drs make like $400k while other developed nations drs make $100k. There really isn't much you can do when the incentives are structured to create these errors. And the way the regulatory environment works, we are terrified of single mass-casualty events (eg plane or train crash) but we don't really take action when people are harmed one at a time (car crash, hospital error), even if cumulatively these small harms create the biggest danger.

    There are countless books and peer reviewed articles written on human error and decision making, along with the myriad factors that influence those processes. I am curious to read this book, but I’m not entirely sure that it will add anything to the existing literature. I’ve studied human error for a long time and nothing he said is really novel or even a different perspective. He’s just adding different names on top of the already existing taxonomy. I’m not really sure that’s a benefit. But I will await final judgment until the book comes out.

      Active behavior can easily be forgotten even after years of practice. My fob is always in my keys and cards pouch. My pouch is always attached to my belt. I always wear the belt when I expect to be in public. This is an almost fully passive system and I have not been locked out of any vehicle or building since 2016.

    I believe the early error examples are due to our reliance upon external cues in stressful situations. In the case of the violin being left behind, the violinist is walking off stage without the violin because he has witnessed the audience leaving without carrying a violin. In the case of locking yourself out, you have been opening and closing doors inside your home without a key, and this behaviour tricks you into closing the front door without the key. There was a TV show with magician Darren Brown, where he asked his guest to think of an animal. He correctly guessed it was a giraffe. He then showed recorded footage of the guest travelling to the TV studio. On the that trip, the guest had been presented six images of a giraffe. The Black Monday market crash of 1987 took place on the Monday, 48 hours after the Great Storm of 1987.

      This kind of psychoanalysis is interesting but doesn't present a meaningful solution. I can think of 20 different ways to Transfer, Eliminate or Mitigate violin risk and lock out risk - but most people would rather Accept the risk. And as long as your have your uber history/ the number of your local locksmith, it probably isn't a big deal to just pay a few hundred bucks during an oopsie.

    Lovely interview! I really love the subject of systemic error avoidance. When you handle your friends' and family's money, it's not so much about spectacular returns, but about not burning their money.
    29:19 I like the example of the keys, because it has also troubled me in my past. Better than forcing yourself to actually feel the keys in the pocket or looking at them is actually using the key to lock the door from the outside. Having several sets of keys, I once almost pulled the door closed because I did not see that the keys I was holding, was not the set to my apartment (they were for my house).
    Conclusion, the check needs to block you from advancing, if not performed correctly. A simple sign will not always work. Let's not forget, one of the greatest fighter pilots of all time killed himself by not removing the control lock prior to take off...

    Embed your lesson into a rule (here regarding getting yourself locked out): My front door (1) has an extra key lock which can also be locked from the inside. I lock it and hang the key on the knob of my other door (2). If I leave my flat via door 1, I'll have to open the key lock with the key hanging from door 2 (the key is now in my hand upon leaving). If I leave my flat via door 2, I cant help seeing the key and naturally I bring it with me 🙂

    One thing that we should really do is periodically re-evaluate our strategies/policies/rules in order to not get stuck in local minima and end up limiting ourselves.

Your "anger" or physiologically stimulating / exciting response, is a resource programmed (nurtured attitudes) by you. Even the origin of your thoughts can be adjusted by the conscious mind (alcohol, aromas, comfort or discomfort).

    Yeah on the economist - they’re not useless. They’re used incorrectly. The first thing any economist will tell you - more so than a trader - is that nobody knows which direction things will go. That’s like very fundamental to a lot of economics literature. What they can tell you is if A goes in X direction, B will move in Y direction faster or the other direction less fast. E.g. an economist is less likely to say “inflation is going to be 2.5% over this next 12 months” - but may have a good model to say - “given current rates and gov spending, it’s likely to be 2-3%… all else equal more gov spend, lower rates, increased tariffs and trade barriers etc. will increase expected range…”. Or they won’t say “you should set taxes at this level”. They’ll say “if you levee this tax, it will make these people richer. It will make these people poorer. It will drive companies and employees to change behavior in this way longer term…

    • @adamrobinson8351

      With respect, the only reason an economist is consulted is because a corporation or investment fund wants to assess the future, which is to say, they are looking for a prediction about this or that. If economists don't know what direction things will go in, as you concede, under this scenario or that, what value do they provide the CEO or hedge fund manager?

    At 50:36 he mentions a great point about the dangers of taking on more and more information prior to a (investment) decision, as the additional information often does little more than to increase confidence, and very likely in a wrong direction.
    A UA-camr called Focussed Compounding (value investors) had their latest video titled "The first 12 hrs of analysing a stock" and yet I'm finished with analysis in 4-6 hrs; the really big factors have most likely been captured and the brevity of 4hrs gives you freedom to be rational; to drop if too risky (e.g. "I actually don't think I can understand this situation") or to invest with caution.
