Thesis - Eliminating your investment mistakes is the easiest way to improve your investment returns

• What have been your past investment mistakes?
• Are there any commonalities between them?
• What can you learn from those mistakes?
• Don't repeat the same mistake!
• Make sure you're learning the Right Lessons

Example: A brief discussion of GameStop

• Episode 5: https://www.diyinvesting.org/asymmetric-risk-and-reward-gamestop-2018-episode005/
• Episode 30: https://www.diyinvesting.org/gamestop-stock-investment-post-mortem-episode30/

GameStop is a good example for me to learn the right lesson. I had to identify the difference between signal and noise or process and outcomes. These mental models have served me well going forward.

Summary:

A focus on eliminating your investment mistakes is the easiest way to improve your investment returns. Don't repeat the same mistake twice by making sure you learn the right lessons. Signal vs Noise. Process vs Outcomes.
