Investing in the Stock Market is Like Boxing With Mike Tyson
InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest Jan 07, 2024 - 08:28 PM GMTBy: Nadeem_Walayat
Most market participants soon learn that stock market investing isn't as easy as the clowns on the CNBC cartoon network sales pitches present it to be. Investing is like getting into a boxing ring with Mike Tyson, become arrogant and you will get knocked out in the first round. Whilst all those fund managers and analists on the financial cartoon networks never even fund set foot in the ring. Think of the stock market as Mike Tyson, it will knock you out! All one can do is to learn through experience to dodge as many as those punches as possible, that is the way to win in the stock market.
The Mike Tyson stock market will from time to time PUNCH YOU HARD, but as long as you don't get Ko' d you can continue to survive and prosper as investing in the stock market is a case of TIME in the RING! The mistake most investors make is they think they can out smart Mike Tyson in the investing ring, think they can buy the bottom and sell the top and short the rallies, what happens? They get Knocked out, leave broke! Instead recognise the fact that you cannot beat Mike Tyson, you will get punched hard, so you need to learn to be able to TAKE those punches as the price of surviving and then learn to dodge as many punches as possible, else you will get K' od.
This is why most Investors lose -
"I was gonna rip his heart out, I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious and most ruthless champion there's ever been, there's no one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No, I'm Alexander—he's no Alexander. I'm the best ever. There's never been anybody as ruthless. I'm Sonny Liston, I'm Jack Dempsey, there's no one like—I'm from their cloth. There's no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart, I want to eat his children. "
Mike Tyson in a post fight interview.
What's worse is MSM, they will get you knocked out even before you have stepped foot in the ring! So the starting point it to hit the mute button on all financial news networks! They are absolutely clueless! As this video of Clown Cramer illustrates when he repeatedly stated that the FAANG stocks were finished, META at $100 was finished! Prompting many investors to get KNOCKED OUT by SELLING at the BOTTOM! That's what will happen to you if you watch the cartoon network! You have probably already experienced it countless times.

So if investing in stocks is akin to dodging punches from Mike tyson then why take the trouble of doing all that hard work to invest and monitor ones portfolio?
INFLATION!
We have NO CHOICE BUT TO INVEST IN assets such as stocks that cannot be easily printed. The alternative is certain loss of purchasing power of earnings and savings. Take CP LIE and double it and that is what you are up against in terms of loss of purchasing power that's currently at 6.2% in the US and 9.2% in the UK (CPIX2).
There IS NO CHOICE BUT TO INVEST IN GOOD STOCKS AS ONE OF THE PRIMARY MECHANISMS FOR AVOIDNG THE STEALTH THEFT OF ONES WEALTH. Other mechanisms as I covered in my How to get Rich series include property and Bitcoin.
