Ghost Stories Ep24: Investment Concepts and a Ghost in the Hot Seat (with Nico Katzke of Satrix)

Share

Nico Katzke of Satrix is a familiar voice to Ghost Mail readers and podcast enthusiasts. He’s back on Ghost Stories, with a fantastic twist halfway through the podcast where we switched roles and he started asking me questions.

Nico in the hot seat:

  • Diversification vs. “diworsification” – a topic always worth revisiting, with commentary on the impact on the market as a whole and an understanding of correlation.
  • The danger of only seeing the highlights reel of an investment journey, masking the impact of taking risky bets that don’t work out.
  • The importance of humility in the market.
  • A famous quote by Warren Buffett that is misused all the time due to it being taken out of context.

Your favourite ghost in the hot seat:

  • My approach to managing cognitive bias.
  • The importance of objectively assessing growth opportunities against the valuation, even for the world’s most exciting companies and brands.
  • Long-term vs. short-term analysis and how this impacts the weighting of price vs. industry fundamentals and management.
  • Personal stories of “the stock that got away” (including the pain of CGT vs. income tax for an individual investor) and the stock that feels like “drunk dialling” an ex.
  • My pick in a Shoprite vs. Pick n Pay debate and how to use common sense when analysing stocks.
  • Where I sit on the value – growth spectrum and the importance of both fundamental and technical analysis.
  • The danger of action bias and the usefulness of higher interest rates that pay you to wait for the right opportunities, making “payday investing” very dangerous in single stocks.
  • The three stocks that I would choose to hold forever.
  • The way to start a journey in analysing companies and making single stock exposure decisions.

There’s so much in here, underpinned by Satrix’s commitment to South African investor education. To find out more about SatrixNOW, visit this link>>>
