If you find what a narrative is in the market versus what you think the narrative actually

is for a company, and where there might be more nuance and complexity, I think that's

where maybe more of the modern value of investors reside, finding the variant perspective.

I'm Mary Long, and that's Motley Fulmoney producer Ricky Mulvey.

Ricky caught up with our very own Anand Chakavalu to take a look at different investing

strategies and determine if there really is one best way to beat the market.

They discuss following the footsteps of investing greats, knowing when to not try something

at home and what past patterns can and can't tell us about future returns.

We can't guarantee that you'll beat the market, but we can tell you about some folks who

have joining us now is Anand Chakavalu, Anand good to see on this weekend.

Great to see you Ricky.

So the hardest part about beating the market or declaring that someone has beaten the

market is seeing if it's like luck versus skill.

Yeah, it's very, very hard to separate the two.

That's why you have all these comparisons to monkey throwing darts and flipping coins,

but we do know two things.

The longer someone beats the market, the more likely it's skill, and then the more people

who beat the market using similar strategies, the more likely it's skill.

Fair enough.

But what do you think is the timeline?

If someone has beaten the market over X time period, you're ready to hand them a sash

and a crown saying congrats you've done it.
