The market doesn't care about your ego, your price targets, or your sure things. Resilience is the ability to say "I was wrong" before the market forces you to. Stay humble, stay diversified, and stay invested.

The best investments aren't always the most exciting. Sometimes the thesis is: Revenue stabilizes. Margins recover. Debt falls. Cash flow improves. The valuation catches up. Boring can be extremely profitable.

A cheap stock can stay cheap. Make sure you can answer the questions of why it is cheap, whether it survives, eventually thrives, and whether the market is wrong.

When everyone agrees a company is "broken", the question isn't whether the problems are real; it's whether they're temporary. If they are, pessimism can become your entry point.

Individual investors have an advantage most fund managers don't: Patience. You don't have to beat the market this quarter. You don't have to explain a temporary drawdown to investors. You can wait.

The AI boom looks a lot like 1999. Record-breaking investment. Exploding semiconductor stocks. Circular financing. “Infinite” demand. But what if investors are focusing on the wrong risk? In his latest piece, Ben Stadelmann looks at what 1999 can teach us about AI, and one beaten-up software stock we think could emerge stronger from the wreckage.

Being contrarian for its own sake is conformity of a different kind. Instead, successful contrarian investors need to sift through beaten-up stocks and find the one or two that are hated more than warranted.
