BARRY RITHOLTZ's new book "How Not to Invest" has received a warm reception. We talk about investing mistakes, the Trump Tariffs, and curating a good media diet. https://youtu.be/pS4f45v2iRk https://www.amazon.com/dp/1804091197/ "How Not To Invest" Transcript Frazer Rice (00:03)Welcome aboard, Barry. Barry (00:04)Well, thanks so much for having me, Frasier. Frazer Rice (00:06)Well, we are recording in the midst of chaos and disorder. We're basically in day three, trading day three of the tariffs and trying to understand all of that. But back at the matter of hand, your new book, I read it really good. I thought it did a really good job of sort of colloquially putting some process and structure around not making bad investing decisions. Tell me a little bit about the impetus for the book. Barry (00:35)Sure, so the last book, Bailout Nation, was 15 years ago when I've had a lot of friends and family say, when's the next book coming? And, you know, I had a little, like, hey, that was kind of a slog, stuff blowing up and forcing me to rewrite entire sections of the book every time some new company went belly up. And I came home from Christmas break from vacation. You have that dead zone a few days before you're back in the office January 2nd. And I just started thumbing through some old quarterly calls for clients and research notes and market commentaries. You know, I had moved the blog from GeoCities in the nineties to Typepad in the two thousands to WordPress in the 2010s. And so I was looking at some of these old things and like, God, I never revisited this. This is such a great piece of research. I love this academic take on where alpha or even beta comes from. And I'm just kind of mulling it over. I start writing down chapter ideas on three by five cards like these. And I end up using this giant bulletin board on my wall. It just basically I start putting stuff up and I start rearranging them. And pretty soon it becomes obvious. Hey, these ideas, a lot of them are don'ts. Don't do this. Don't do that. Avoid this. Try not to make this bad mistake. And ultimately, I kind of came to the conclusion that, know, we've part of the reason I held off writing a book is there have been tens of thousands of investing books telling people what to do. And we're all pretty mediocre investors still. Maybe it might be useful if we learned what not to do and thus "how not to invest" was born. Frazer Rice (02:35)We found kind of an interesting crucible to test all of this with sort of Trump's tariff initiatives and a bunch of chaos on that front. As you think about what we're living in right now with uncertainty, whether manufactured or not, what are some of the top things that you think about that you tell people, your clients and otherwise? to keep in mind as we sort of weather this storm and try to learn a little bit about what the future is going to look like. Barry (03:06)Right. I had no idea what what the sequel would be named. Maybe it could be how not to run an economy or what we'll play with that. But so so what's happening these days are kind of fascinating because the first third of the book I spent a lot of time talking about how little we really know about about what's happening right now. And we learn even less about the future. And so our Frazer Rice (03:12)Ha Barry (03:34)A hot take on these things is maybe we shouldn't build portfolios based on having to predict where the economy is going to be, what the hot sector is going to be, where the hot geography is going to be, what the best companies are. Maybe we need to be a little more robust and capable of withstanding this. And the tariffs are a perfect example of how little we know. Look, the obvious examples of "How Not to Invest" Nobody had heading into 2020 in their year had forecast global pandemic that shuts the world's economy. And by the way, stocks go straight up. They just after a 34 percent crash,

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Barry Ritholtz. From his early days navigating chaos on a trading desk to building a $5 billion advisory firm, Barry shares why investing is simple, but not easy—and how mastering your emotions may matter more than mastering the market.

It's official. The largest bailout in history is awaiting Donald Trump's beautiful signature. Not one Republican in the senate voted against it and everyone and their mother is coming out of the woodwork to get a piece of this pie. But who are the real winners and losers?

It seems like everyone is getting a bailout. Checks to everyone. More checks in the future. Money for businesses, industries and more. But as the Founders warned us – this isn’t going to play out well for us, or for future generations. Path to Liberty: March 23, 2020 PODCAST VERSION Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play […]

It's been another week of selloffs in the markets. It's not just stocks. Everything is selling off. The only thing really gaining right now is the US dollar. Meanwhile, the government is promising bailouts for all. In this episode of the Friday Gold Wrap, host Mike Maharrey looks ahead at the possible ramifications of all this "stimulus" money. He also puts the recent drop in the price of gold into some historical perspective. Note: When Mike was quoting the current gold prices, he said it was at $1,518 an ounce. The actual price was $1,508.

This week on the podcast we have the "Blog-Father" Barry Ritholtz. Barry's Big Picture Blog has been a must read for me going back to 2006. He was one of the only voices of reason throughout 2007-2008 warning everyone of the coming collapse in stocks. He is also the author of one of my favorite books on that period, "Bailout Nation". Today, Barry is the Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of RWM, the hottest wealth management firm in the world right now. In this episode, Barry takes us back 20 years to his early blogging days, he tells us what it was like covering the financial crisis in 2008 and then writing a book about it. Today he's focused more of his attention on behavior finance and I really enjoyed some of his examples about our flaws and what we can do about them. We discussed a lot during this podcast: Emotional responses, evolutionary traits and the stupidity of people. Barry hosts one of the best podcasts in finance, Bloomberg's Masters In Business, so it was nice to flip the script and pick his brain for an hour. Enjoy!   Click here to return to the episode page

Michael Covel talks with Barry Ritholtz, an author ("Bailout Nation"), newspaper columnist, blogger (www.ritholtz.com), equities analyst, television commentator, and CEO of Fusion IQ. Ritholtz is deep down a quant guy, but brings strong views and opinions. However, he won't sit around and "fight the tape". Covel and Ritholtz talk about the price of paying attention and why you should be selective in what you watch, read, and listen to; the onslaught of political information; the insatiable need to consume information and knowing when it's the right time to quarantine yourself from being influenced by someone in particular; Ritholtz's views on gold, why attaching your emotional well-being to it is wrong, and how it won't be quite as valuable as most people think in the event of a crisis; cutting your losses short and letting your winners run; the real value of intuition; how Ritholtz views the world and where we're at right now, societal and economic cycles, and how you can't be a doom and gloomer seeing what's coming down the pipeline in the next generation; and the importance of not being cash rich and time poor, getting "lost in the screens", and leading a good life instead of always chasing money for its own sake. Ritholtz brings a fun and engaging edge to the podcast. He also appeared in Covel's documentary film "Broke". Ignore his wisdom at your financial peril. Free DVD: www.trendfollowing.com/win.
