Episode 4 - Time

The Sloth Investor - A podcast by The Sloth Investor

Categories:

In episode 4 of the Sloth Investor podcast, my co-host Jay and I talk about the importance of ‘TIME’, the 4th bedrock principle of the Sloth Investor. Early on in this episode, you’ll hear my views concerning how the FAANG stocks (and others) have conditioned us to immediate gratification and the potential consequences that this exerts on our ability to invest for the long term. On several occasions during this episode I refer to this quote by Brian Portnoy: “One of the greatest skills in investing is patience, the Stoic ability to do nothing deliberately. In our money lives and well beyond, those who have mastered the art of delayed gratification are more likely to excel.” The quote is taken from Portnoy’s book ‘The Geometry of Wealth’. We hope you enjoy the episode. Mr. Sloth Twitter: https://twitter.com/sloth_investor Substack: https://theslothinvestor.substack.com/
