The Invisible Force Behind Financial Fortunes
Picture a pendulum that never stops at the center, always swinging past it. This is how Howard Marks, co-founder of Oaktree Capital Management, describes market cycles - the invisible force that can transform sound investments into catastrophic failures or risky bets into spectacular successes. Not because the investment changed, but because the cycle did. While most investors focus on what to buy, the truly successful ones understand when to buy it. Cycles aren't random fluctuations but interconnected patterns with their own internal logic, oscillating around midpoints with each event causing the next. They're inevitable, self-correcting, and frequently misunderstood due to investors' notoriously short memories. Understanding even a little about cycle timing gives you an advantage over those who ignore them - and that's what separates average returns from exceptional ones. Investing means making decisions today that will benefit from tomorrow's events - a fundamentally uncertain proposition. While achieving average market returns is simple through index funds, consistent outperformance requires an edge. But where can you find it? Not in predicting unpredictable macro events, but in three specific areas: knowing more about "the knowable" (company fundamentals), maintaining discipline about appropriate prices, and understanding the current investment environment. Think of the future not as a fixed outcome but as a probability distribution. Superior investors develop a better sense of these probabilities - they understand what "tickets are in the bowl" and whether the odds favor participation.
