Unfair Fights
“If you want to do truly extraordinary things in your life, you need to have a very high win rate. Genghis Khan only fought unfair fights… For most of the fights that he picked, his people weren't even within eyesight of the people they were conquering. Their bows literally had 30 to 50 yards more length to them. They didn't fight hand-to-hand… His number one general died on a farm at the age of seventy-three after conquering Western Europe… He didn't lose a single battle… Th

Compounding in Great Businesses
What’s an intelligent investor to do now? Buy downtrodden cheap stocks? Or chase high-flying growth stocks at rich prices? Or maybe just sit in cash hoping the market crashes (and hoping you’ll have the courage to buy stocks as they’re plummeting … before the Fed re-inflates them). Or maybe there’s a better strategy?

A Practical Revolution
“The value of money is not the only thing that might evaporate once people stop believing in it. The same can happen to laws, gods and even empires. One moment they are busy shaping the world, and the next moment they no longer exist." - Yuval Noah Harari , Homo Deus Ten years ago, I founded Fielder Capital. My vision was that the world was changing. And the investment advisory business was changing with it. Lower fees, transparency, customization, and better aligne
