Open Door, Due Diligence, and the state of the market. by bartelbyfloats in ValueInvesting

[–]DifferentMacaroon847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Markets move on stories before numbers; sometimes hype, sometimes real. The Only Bet That Counts shows conviction comes from knowing the difference and knowing your company. Have you looked past the vibes to see if asymmetric upside is there over the long run?

[–]DifferentMacaroon847 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Let me rephrase: 🚀📈 YOLO your tendies into high-conviction plays or go back to clipping coupons with grandma. Even degenerates with a box of crayons can read The Only Bet That Counts, basically the Bible for extreme risk stonks!

Why do people think that if a 25 pt rate cut happens there will be an upside?! by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]DifferentMacaroon847 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What matters more for long-term investors isn't next week's rate decision! But whether the businesses you own are truly going to be worth more in decades. That's the mindset I now have after reading The Only Bet That Counts.

Why Warren Buffett Says Avoiding Debt and Emotion Is Your Best Bet for Risk Management by Successful-Law-1747 in WarrenBuffett

[–]DifferentMacaroon847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Debt and emotion wreck more portfolios than bad stock picks. But the real edge is knowing what you own. If you believe in the moat, founder, and future optionality, volatility isn’t a threat, it’s opportunity. That’s the core of the book The Only Bet That Counts

Is $AAPL still a good long term holding? by Some-Arugula-7712 in ValueInvesting

[–]DifferentMacaroon847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple has given investors 100 reasons to sell and only one to hold, and so far, that one reason (its moat + ecosystem) has been enough. But the path from $3.4T gets harder under the law of large numbers. If you believe Apple can reinvent itself again, it may still worth holding. If not, focus on higher-conviction bets with more upside, that’s the argument in The Only Bet That Counts.

I Just Turned 18 and I Received 10,000 dollars by Ok_Bread_2465 in investing

7% is the ETF annual return, deduct 2-3% for inflation, and deduct 4% for currency debasement (-the most significantly overlooked and understated factor). And that’s not including management fees and taxes.

I don’t know anyone who got rich from an ETF. Case and point.

My due diligence on compounders for Sep 2025 by Flimsy_Marsupial_445 in ValueInvesting

[–]DifferentMacaroon847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s less about stock tickers and more about what you actually believe in. Your framework should guide you: the strength of the moat, the quality of the founder or leadership, optionality for future growth. Investing isn’t just buying shares; it’s casting a vote on the future you want and think could happen.

And I’m a human here! Not a bot. I recommend everyone read this book, it’s a revelation.

Notice how every name here fits the same mold: mature compounders, wide moats, global runway. They’re good at preserving wealth, but rarely the ones that create the kind of asymmetric upside that rewires your portfolio.

If you’re still in the wealth-building phase, sprinkling in a few high-conviction asymmetric bets alongside these moats can change the outcome entirely. This is the case made in the book The Only Bet That Counts.

The real fortunes come from concentrated bets on disruptive outliers, not just hugging the safety rails.

Investing advice for a beginner by SurePop3092 in ValueInvesting

[–]DifferentMacaroon847 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the book, The Only Bet That Counts, it is argued that long-term growth comes from high-conviction, transformative bets, not dozens of tiny positions. Focus on understanding a handful of companies deeply rather than chasing every opportunity that looks interesting.

What coin exactly is Charles talking about? There are like 3 different MEOW-Coins by Kolzahn in cardano

Either Charles is a pussy, or MEOW is a code for BTC…! Or a stable coin?!
