Founders Over 40: Redefining Success

This article explores the experiences of founders over 40, highlighting a shift in their definition of success compared to their younger counterparts. With increased family responsibilities and a longer life perspective, these founders prioritize work-life balance, seeking more stable and predictable income. Their accumulated wisdom allows for quicker pattern recognition, more pragmatic decision-making, and a willingness to explore alternative paths like acquisitions or joining larger organizations. This doesn't signify a lack of ambition, but rather a clearer understanding of the costs (time, energy, personal life) associated with different paths, and a more effective leveraging of their accumulated skills and experience.

Crystal Ball Challenge: Knowing the Future Isn't Enough to Guarantee Riches

Elm Partners conducted an experiment called the "Crystal Ball Challenge," where 118 finance students traded stocks and bonds using the Wall Street Journal's front page from one day in the future (with price data blacked out) over 15 days. The results were surprising: despite having future information, most participants didn't profit, averaging a mere 3.2% gain. Experienced traders, however, performed exceptionally well, averaging a 130% gain. The experiment demonstrated that even with 'future' knowledge, successful investing requires sensible position sizing. This research highlights the importance of decision-making under uncertainty and position sizing, offering valuable lessons for financial education.
