Outfox the Box


The Coffeehouse Investor philosophy boils down to one question...

Are you interested in the entertainment value of the stock market, or is your primary goal to maximize returns and minimize your risk in an effort to reach your long term financial goals?

It is as simple as that. 

The Coffeehouse philosophy of investing can be summed up in a quick game called  "Outfox the Box." 

Are you ready?  You are the contestant in this game. There are ten boxes, and you know how much is in each box. These are your choices, it looks something like this....

$1000

$2000

$3000

$4000

$5000

$6000

$7000

$8000

$9000

$10,000

Which box will you choose? (Remember, you know how much is in each box) 

This is not a trick question. Anyone would choose the $10,000 box.

The choices you make when building a diversified portfolio are just as easy.  
(Maybe that's why so many multi-billion dollar public pension portfolios make the same choices as Coffeehouse Investors)
