Things That Investors Don't Want You To Know
Investors don’t want you to know about the best investment they’re investing in or building a stake in it; because if you do, you may end up competing for a share of the pie with them.
The biggest advantage an investor has is insight, not information.
Insight can be collected or formed, serving the investor’s decision-making.
Each investor possesses an insight toward an investment (companies, stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.) that others don’t have, and what they want to do is to collect as many pieces of that investment before anybody else does.
You never see the best investors, like Warren Buffett, talk on the news about his investments.
You can only know about his investments after 30 days under 13F reports.
Investors often form their opinion about business competitive advantage.
They want to know if the business will withstand all the competition.
They want to know if the business will acquire 100x more customers in the future.
They want to know if the leaders and managers can allocate capital within the business properly, which increases the value of their investment in the business.
Even though investors don’t want you to know about their insight, many great investors like Warren Buffett are very generous in sharing their knowledge after they have completed buying or exiting their investment with profit.
This is due some part to regulation and personal humility.
Most investors often manage money for other people, which requires them to be cautious about their words.
Making wrong judgment and prediction can destroy their reputation and cause other investors to stop investing with them.
