What did you invest in?

He asked one guy, did your portfolio outperform the S&P 500?

And the guy thought about it for a second and he said, I don't care.

What does it matter?

I ended up in Boca.

That's the point.

There are no points for degree of difficulty or style points when it comes to investing.

I think it's just like, how do you reach your goal and minimize risk along the way to achieve whatever your goals are?

I think that's the biggest thing for most people.

That's the benchmark that matters.

I think on the psyche of investors, what we've learned this decade is that it's very problematic.

My favorite thing to study about markets is behavior and psychology and how people react to these things.

Having read all these books about psychology, I totally underestimated how angry inflation would make people.

The fact that it came roaring back for the first time, maybe it's just because we haven't had it in so long.

I think the sentiment part of it is really interesting to watch how people react.

And even if your wages rise, it doesn't matter.

The wages, that's me, that's my hard work.

But inflation, that's like someone else, that's a government or corporations or whoever.

But I think the big thing for investors with inflation is just, it shows you, this is why you have to invest your money.

Because your dollar is getting eaten away by rising prices over time.
