Bought Stocks Recently? If you've snagged some great businesses during this drawdown, a reminder that the big money is made in the waiting.

To reap the rewards of compounding, survival is key. Invest wisely, Thomas

III. Oaktree's Howard Marks on China Opportunities, Trump's Cabinet, Market Sentiment

​

Howard Marks interview with Bloomberg:

• Be less aggressive, but don’t exit the market. Nobody can time the market. Instead, calibrate your behavior between aggressiveness and defensiveness.
• You can be right about the events but wrong about how the markets react.
• There are many speculations about the new administration, but the truth is, nobody knows how it will play out.
• He doesn’t think things are crazy high now and doesn’t believe it is time to get out of the market.
• China is trying to calibrate the right amount of stimulus. They’re wary of overshooting.
• Howard Marks sees the Chinese market as a bargain right now.
• The problem with the property surplus will take time to be absorbed. It doesn’t just disappear with new policies. He believes the government will do what it takes to digest these excess properties and implement policies to prevent this from happening again.
• When people say China is uninvestable, it becomes music to their ears.

That's all I have for you today!

Till next week.
