🧠 Investment Mental Models

🧠

Circle of Competence

Only invest in what you understand. No FOMO into unfamiliar sectors.

🔬

Margin of Safety

Buy at significant discount to intrinsic value. Protection against being wrong.

🏰

Moat Thinking

Ask: what prevents competitors from taking this company's profits?

Long-Term Thinking

Think in decades, not days. Most wealth is created by holding quality stocks long.

🐻

Mr. Market

Market is emotional. Buy when fearful, sell when greedy. Be contrarian.

🎯

Concentrated vs Diversified

Know enough for 10–15 stocks. Over-diversification dilutes returns.
