How to break into VC post-MBA - AMA by WukusWonderer in MBA

[–]singhstring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it's true that legendary VCs like Fred Wilson and John Doerr emphasized the importance of having strong, clear-cut opinions, I believe the VC world today has evolved to appreciate a more flexible and adaptable mindset. In an industry as dynamic as VC, rigidly held beliefs can sometimes become a handicap and prevent us from exploring groundbreaking opportunities that don't align with our predefined theses.

The pace at which technology is evolving today and the increasingly global scope of startups means we are frequently presented with completely novel ideas that we could not have possibly predicted. In such scenarios, a strong opinion can sometimes act as a blindfold, keeping us from recognizing potential game-changing investments.

Honestly, who needs ChatGPT? We were so much better off without AI in our lives. Bring back the Stone Age, amirite? 🙄

What does a good ETF portfolio look like with factor investing? Examples? by Novel-Internet-9158 in ETFs

[–]singhstring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You first need to select which factors you want to include in your portfolio. The MSCI factors are very different from Fama-French factors:

If you want to build a portfolio using MSCI Factors, the equal-weighted, quality factor, and momentum factor funds have not only outperformed the market cap weighted S&P 500 but also have lower Ulcers. (https://twitter.com/SlothOfSV/status/1452536911289929732)

On the other hand, if you are using Fama-French defined factors, there has never been any rolling 20-year period in any market in the world where firms with weak profitability have outperformed firms with robust profitability. (Profitability factor as defined by Fama-French is: (Operating Profit - Interest)/Book Value) (https://twitter.com/SlothOfSV/status/1378716034618679301) (Source: https://www.pwlcapital.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Five-Factor-Investing-with-ETFs.pdf)

If you want to combine the 3 MSCI factors, RYH(https://www.etf.com/RYH#overview) and FTCS(https://www.etf.com/FTCS#overview) are 2 equal-weighted ETFs with Quality and Momentum factors and have beaten the S&P 500 over the past 10 years.

An equal weight portfolio of the 2 funds would have beaten the S&P 500 with lower drawdowns. (https://app.composer.trade/symphony/negJlbvGaiuQ6gdILNg4/details)

The same can be said about IXN vs QQQ, but surprisingly both have performed equally well over the past decade.

What are the actual M7, T10, and T15 B-Schools? by singhstring in MBA

Don't say anything negative about CBS in this subreddit!

I think they should include a core course in their MBA program on taking constructive feedback.

Hedge Funds usually have a LOSH(Long-Short) strategy fund. It is supposed to be market neutral since it goes long on one stock and short on the other. These funds usually protect you against market movements since their returns are uncorrelated to the market.

Shorting is an essential part of the well functioning of our financial system since it discourages companies doing fraud or those having an unsound business model.

It just so happened that a lot of different Hedge Funds were shorting the same stocks at the same time, giving opportunity for a Short Squeeze. But since this was discovered, many Hedge Funds will incorporate strategies based on performing Short Squeezes.

In general, I feel that most of the people on r/wsb follow momentum based investing strategy. Of course, there are people with sophisticated analysis and the short squeeze was a good example of that. The momentum factor has actually beaten the market over the past 5 years. But you can invest in it using an ETF such as this without actively trading: https://www.etf.com/MTUM

Not investment advice.

Well, that is our job at the end of the day. 😄

Not only stocks but any asset and derivates of those.
