Adishan Naidoo | Simon Brown
Inevitably, our investing and trading strategies are shaped by how we perceive the world around us. We assess opportunities and threats, forecast probabilities and future trends, all in the hope that knowledge equals control.
In this Power Hour, Simon Brown reflects on the (good and bad) decisions he’s made over three decades in the markets, navigating five crashes and countless turning points. He’ll share the lessons learned, the insights gained, and the enduring unpredictability that all traders and investors must confront.
Simon covers his experiences and hard-won lessons on:
- Market cycles ~ recognising patterns without assuming you can predict the future.
- Valuations ~ understanding what you’re really paying for.
- Timing ~ knowing what and when to buy, and perhaps most importantly, when to sell.
- Trends ~ which to avoid and which to embrace.
- The importance of the big picture.
- Selling as the hardest part and more.
Whether you’re just starting out or have been investing for years, this Power Hour gives you practical strategies and timeless lessons to improve your approach.
As Oscar Wilde said, “Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.” Join us to learn from Simon’s, so you don’t have to repeat them yourself.
