Cameron PassmoreHOST
Bill's a nice guy.
Dave ChiltonGUEST
My best one for that is when I launched the US version of The Wealthy Barber in 1990, I got John Templeton's phone number from Bill Holland at CI Mutual Funds and I called him and he answered his phone.
Dave ChiltonGUEST
He goes, John Templeton speaking.
Dave ChiltonGUEST
I'm like, what? Why don't you have so many hits in your phone? And I told him who I was.
Dave ChiltonGUEST
And I said, do you mind if I send you the book for a cover endorsement? He goes, yeah, he was in the Bahamas, I think.
Erik AbrahamssonHOST
Takeaway number 4.
Erik AbrahamssonHOST
Don't be a sheep in a herd To buy when others are despondently selling, and to sell when others are euphorically buying, takes the greatest courage, but provides the greatest profits." – Sir John Templeton The most important thing is contrarianism While most investors just follow the current trend, the best investors a lot of time do just the opposite When there's a broad consensus among the investment community, it means that most investors have already acted, and the current price reflects those actions.
Erik AbrahamssonHOST
If a lot of investors have bought a stock because current conditions are perceived as good, the price is then high.
Erik AbrahamssonHOST
This leaves a lot of risk, but only a small upside.
Andrew McDermottGUEST
Because of these same structures that we're now saying are unwinding.
Andrew McDermottGUEST
So we went from, you know, when John Templeton, who's also from Tennessee, started the Templeton Foreign Fund.
Andrew McDermottGUEST
Here's a pop quiz.
Andrew McDermottGUEST
Japan was about 12% of global markets.
Jake McClureHOST
And I get nervous when we hit the point where nobody's negative.
Jake McClureHOST
Another good quote from John Templeton.
Jake McClureHOST
He's my favorite quote maker when it comes to the market by far.
Jake McClureHOST
Bull markets are born on pessimism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria.
George NobleGUEST
So if you didn't own Japanese banks, you were making a bet against the index.
George NobleGUEST
And there were the likes of Jeremy Grantham, John Templeton, Nick Browder, Scudder Stevens, very well-spoken, great guys, friends of mine, railing away against the Japanese stock market.
George NobleGUEST
And I was young enough, optimistic enough, I actually owned that crap, believe it or not.
George NobleGUEST
I eventually came to my senses.
Tim ReganGUEST
I can't go into it enough.
Tim ReganGUEST
I had the pleasure of working when I first got into this industry for John Templeton.
Tim ReganGUEST
And I worked for John Templeton.
Tim ReganGUEST
And he actually, at that point, put out a prize of a million dollars, which is worth a lot then, saying that anyone who can consistently forecast the market better than 55% of the time, consistently, I'll give a million dollars to.
Tim ReganGUEST
He never gave out that prize.
Lewis HowesHOST
And I think maybe it was someone else you were referencing.
Lewis HowesHOST
Yes, it came from Sir John Templeton.
Lewis HowesHOST
And every day I practice gratitude.
Lewis HowesHOST
When I wake up and every night I always try to say to my girlfriend or someone I'm talking to before I go to sleep, three things I'm most grateful for.
Lewis HowesHOST
I was like, I'm on the right track if I'm living with gratitude.
Lewis HowesHOST
But why is that the secret to wealth?
Tony RobbinsGUEST
Well, Sir John Templeton is probably one of the greatest investors in history.
Tony RobbinsGUEST
People don't know his name.
Chris ChillingworthHOST
And that means questioning whether today's profits are representative of the business's longer-term earning ability.
Chris ChillingworthHOST
Sir John Templeton also reminds us of the importance of looking beyond current market sentiment.
Chris ChillingworthHOST
So a company suffering for a difficult period might be just being viewed negatively by investors right now, but that doesn't automatically mean its long-term prospects have disappeared.
Chris ChillingworthHOST
And equally, a company enjoying tremendous success right now is probably going to attract enormous enthusiasm in the short term.
Ryan HendersonHOST
This is also the famous Graham and Doddsville, if you've ever heard of that.
Ryan HendersonHOST
Some of the students that went through his classes included, Brett mentioned it, Warren Buffett, Walter Schloss, Bill Ruane, Irving Kahn, John Templeton, and a bunch of other investors that went on to have outrageous track records.
Ryan HendersonHOST
He really is the godfather of value investing.
Ryan HendersonHOST
And it's I think Buffett's talked about this before.
Bill SmeadGUEST
Remind me to come back to that.
Bill SmeadGUEST
And he – it was a $100 million offering, and John Templeton put $25 million.
Bill SmeadGUEST
He was the guy – he thought this guy has got a good system here.
Bill SmeadGUEST
And so John Templeton was a small G God at that time.
Bill SmeadGUEST
And so anyway, so I got in there, and I looked at that, and I thought – This is, if I want to be a stock picker, this is what I need to do.
Bill SmeadGUEST
Because when I was a greyhound handicapper in college, I had five criteria for dog selection.
