We are so excited to bring you another episode in our Expert Investor series. Our guest this week is someone who we have been following for a couple of years now, and have longed to have on the show. His name is Jesse Felder. Jesse is an ex-Wall Street trader, starting his career at Bear Stearns (without even studying Business or Finance) - the largest investment bank on Wall Street at the time. He then went on co-found a multi-billion dollar hedge fund, before moving into financial media, and running 'The Felder Report'. Jesse's views resonate with us, and if you've listened to our episode 'The Buy-And-Hold Cult' then you will have heard Jesse speak before. In this episode you will learn: • Jesse's number one thing that beginners should understand better about markets • What Jesse's first investment was, and what lead him to that decision • The worst piece of advice he's ever received • Why all investors should be wary of recency bias • Jesse's current approach to investing, given equity valuations are at historic highs • Why Equity Mates might be wrong about the logic of index investing • Why Gold still has potential, and why it should be part of every investor's portfolio Stocks and resources discussed: • Reminiscences of a Stock Operator - Edwin Lefèvre • The Felder Report • Superinvestors And The Art Of Worldly Wisdom • Wall Street Journal
