Stock Club · #315: How to Invest Through Booms, Busts & Bubbles (w/ Ben Carlson) · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

For some people, it's, I can't possibly miss

a bull market like this.

If things are going up and I'm not part of it, the FOMO is going to kill me, and it's going to eat me alive.

Other people, it's, no, no, no, I can't sit through those bone-crushing losses, I have to be more conservative, even if I'm giving something else up there.

And so, I think you just have to understand the trade-offs you're taking, regardless of how you invest.

Oh, in a big way.

So I my career started managing money for institutions.

So I worked for nonprofits like endowments and foundations and pension plans.

And you're right.

The quarterly numbers were so big for them.

Like, if we don't beat our benchmark, it's the end of the world.

And it wasn't just like the benchmark that they created internally.

It's also like we have to beat our peers.

Right.

These other endowment funds and these other pension funds, if we're not beating them, we're going to be miserable.

And it's funny because they're for an endowment there.

These things are set up to last in perpetuity.

Like it's like how long are you going to last forever?

Then how are you going to measure your performance?

Quarterly, which doesn't seem to make any sense.
