Reminds me of BVP's hilarious Anti-Portfolio[1]. [1]: http://www.bvp.com/portfolio/antiportfolio http://www.bvp.com/portfolio/antiportfolio

  What does it mean if your anti-portfolio looks far better than your actual portfolio?:-)
  • confluence 14y ago
    There are 1000s of startups on the anti-portfolio list. Only the winners are shown. Investing in startups is hard.

      Is it even better than random? This anti-portfolio is so impressive it seems to suggest a strategy of investing a small amount in all but the stupidest rather than even trying to pick winners
      • confluence 14y ago
        Yes. Being better than random is a particularly low bar to pass.

          Is it so hard to believe? We still put hundreds of billions into mutual funds that aren't better than random

    If you had to keep all the failures you'd rejected on the anti-books... actually, I thought this was an asinine comment but there might actually be a lesson here. I ain't no fancy big city investin' type, but wouldn't one of the fundamental principles be to find the point where this your portfolio and your anti-portfolio are balanced?
