Topics
Scott Galloway: 我一直强调逆向投资的重要性。我发现,那些看起来不性感的、充满风险的领域,往往蕴藏着巨大的回报机会。例如,我对破产公司的债权投资,以及对Yellow Pages这样的传统行业的投资,都获得了非常可观的回报。我认为,真正的投资机会往往隐藏在那些被市场忽视或误解的角落里。我总是寻找那些被低估的资产,并进行深入的研究和分析,以发现其中的价值。同时,我也非常注重风险管理,会对我的投资组合进行压力测试,以确保我能够应对各种不利情况。我的目标不是追求快速致富,而是通过稳健的投资策略,实现长期的财富增长和保值。 Scott Galloway: 此外,我也强调多元化投资的重要性。我不仅投资于不同的资产类别,如股票、房地产和债权,还注重地域分散,将我的投资分散到美国、欧洲和亚洲等不同的市场。我认为,通过多元化投资,可以降低投资组合的整体风险,并提高获得稳定回报的可能性。当然,我也承认,多元化投资变得越来越困难,因为全球市场的关联性越来越强。但是,我仍然会尽力寻找那些与市场走势不相关的投资机会,以实现更好的风险调整回报。
