Howard Marks: Investment essentials for all investors

In this interview, Howard Marks of Oaktree provides his three investment essentials for all investors. Howard explains that the market is unpredictable and constantly changing, so one should not be overconfident in their predictions.

He states that higher returns generally require higher risks, and that offers promising high returns likely come with hidden risks. Marks also highlights the importance of thinking differently from the majority to achieve superior investment results.

If you want to be superior, you have to diverge from the herd, and that’s why this is a hard business for non-professionals because they have other things to do than be thinking about how to diverge from the herd.
