Episode 3513:

Nick Maggiulli uses a remarkable medical story to reveal how resilience and redundancy underpin both life and investing, emphasizing why a “margin of safety” is essential for long-term survival. By showing how the price you pay outweighs nearly every other factor, he reframes investing as a discipline of patience, humility, and risk control. You’ll walk away understanding why simple strategies like consistent buying can outperform more “intelligent” but fragile approaches.

Quotes to ponder:

"Price is my due diligence."

"What do you call a market that is down 90%? That’s a market that was down 80%, then proceeded to go down 50% more."

"The most important piece of information when buying a stock (or any asset) is   the price you pay."
