Howard Marks: Mastering the Market Cycle

Howard Marks' Oaktree Capital (NYSE: OAK) earned billions by investing heavily at the depths of the financial crisis. It may not surprise you to learn that Marks and his team made out huge by investing at a time when everyone else in the market was terrified. It might surprise you much more to know that these are no robots. They were actually quite terrified, too.
Marks' memos, which he has written since 1990, have long been priority reading for some of the best investors in the world -- Warren Buffett has famously said that whenever he sees one in his inbox, that's what he reads first. In 2011 Marks released his first book, The Most Important Thing, which, in direct contradiction with the title, listed 20 things to which the successful investor ought to pay attention. His second book, out this month, is titled Mastering the Market Cycle: Getting the Odds on Your Side.
In this wide-ranging interview with Bill Mann, Marks discussed the words that ought to be banned from an investor's vocabulary, whether who sits in the president's chair matters to investors, how his team prepared and steeled themselves during the financial collapse, and where we currently sit in the market cycle.

    Uroš M right now most advertised 10 year returns are from spring 2009 to spring 2019. Mainly everything is 10 percent or higher. Most large cap and s and p 500 is like 15% mid cap 15% small cap 15% 10 year annualized returns. These are conservative numbers from index funds

    I am in the beginning of my studies. Would you recommend taking courses in psychological finance or behavioral finance or is it better to spend that time learning about the history in general, like the specific cases to learn more and try to not make the same mistakes as others? Thank you for your talk with Howard Marks! Very interesting to learn from people who have been in the business and have so much knowledge.

    The best experience is from real trading experience. Each people has different behaviour/emotion. People can read all the book, theory, bla2 but when actually do it, the emotion takes control over logic. Try trade with very small size first where the money doesn't really matter then observe yourself during this transaction. Put note down and what you learn from it and how you can improve it next time. First, play defensive (management risk, stop loss, win-loss ratio, etc) and just survive out there. Once you can survive and able increase your account size, you can increase your trading size slowly that won't affect your emotion. After couple months, you start seeing the pattern, start becoming a routine, a habit, then you feel much relax, stay calm in the storm, logic win over emotion, and this's the time you will perform your best.
