Lessons from 50 years of stock market cycles - Simon Skinner | Orbis Investments
Basis Points
Why Rethink Emerging Markets Now
Simon makes the case that EM valuations are depressed versus developed markets and present long-term opportunity.
"In hindsight it will be clear that this was an opportunity"
That is a quote from today's interview with Simon Skinner, Head of the Global Investment Team at Orbis Investments.
Investors have notoriously short memories, always chasing the last bull market and learning lessons from recent history. In today's episode, Simon wants us to take a step back and look at the lessons from the longer arc of stock market history.
We speak to Simon about:
- The wrong lessons we're learning from the recent past
- What the longer span of history actually teaches us
- Why today's market is "speculative, unbalanced and risky"
- How we can build decision making processes to make better decisions
- A deep-dive on two stocks: Smurfit Westrock and Jardine Matheson
