If you’ve ever bought a stock because it felt like everyone already “knew” it was going up and then it collapsed so fast you couldn’t even explain what you owned… this video is for you.
The market doesn’t take money from people who miss the news it takes money from people who lose control when the news hits.
Here are the 3 hype traps that make ordinary investors lose money fast and the Benjamin Graham filters that make you hype-proof.
Modern markets are engineered to turn attention into leverage and emotion into a trigger. In the middle of AI hype, options screenshots, “this is the next Amazon” stories, and stocks that look “cheap” after a 70% drop, most people don’t intend to speculate they drift into it. Benjamin Graham drew a clear line: investing is a disciplined purchase based on evidence, value, and a margin of safety. Speculation is a purchase based on urgency, excitement, and hope that someone pays more.
In this video, we use Graham’s timeless framework including Mister Market to expose the three traps that show up in real life: your retirement timeline, your stress level, your decision-making, and the hidden cost of panic. You’ll learn how to separate narrative from numbers, protect your portfolio from leverage, and avoid value traps disguised as “bargains,” using simple, memorable checklists you can apply before you hit buy.
What you’ll learn inside:
-The Story Stock Trap: when narrative replaces business fundamentals, earnings power, and intrinsic value
-The Easy Money Trap: options, margin, leveraged ETFs, and why timing risk destroys long-term investing
-The “It’s On Sale” Trap: why down 70% doesn’t mean cheap, and how value investing gets hijacked by anchoring
-Mister Market: how to stop treating the market like a prophet and start using it like a salesman
-Margin of Safety: how defensive investing protects you when you’re wrong
Practical filters: earnings, balance sheet strength, dilution risk, valuation vs reality, rebalancing and asset allocation
That’s why Graham’s defensive investor approach matters: you don’t need to be brilliant, you need a process that survives your worst day.
