📊 Starting Valuations Matter Enormously
"The most important thing in medium to long-term investing is valuation. It's just the only thing that is reliably a predictor of future returns." - Jim Reid
Jim's study found:
🔹 A low P/E portfolio returns 20.2% p.a. over the last 70 years with the high P/E portfolio at 11.4%
🔹 The high dividend portfolio returns 12.8% p.a. over the last 200 years, with the low dividend portfolio 9.3%.
"If I was gonna be glib and say there's one secret sauce to investing, it is: buy low, sell high."
