Mohnish Pabrai Says An Investment Opportunity Should Hit You Over The Head Immediately Otherwise Move On

Great video with Mohnish Pabrai speaking with the folks at Google. This whole presentation can be summed up at 27:05 when Pabrai says, “Spending time on [researching] companies is likely to make me bias”.

In other words when you’re looking for investment opportunities they should hit you over the head immediately. If they do not don’t spend enormous amounts of unnecessary time researching them. This will lead you to become bias towards the investment. Instead, move on and find another opportunity that does hit you over the head immediately.

He also provides some useful hacks that will help overcome some of our inherent biases.
