Long-term thinking

Long-term thinking

Long-term thinking is more challenging than most people imagine. It is then also more lucrative than many people think.

The long run consists of a collection of short runs that you have to put up with: recessions, bear markets, meltdowns and surprises. Instead of assuming long-term thinkers don't have to deal with nonsense, the question is how you can endure all the short uphills.

Your belief in the long run isn't enough

Your investors, coworkers, spouses and friends have to sign up for the ride. Being right is one thing. But you also need to be able to convince those whose support you rely on.

An investment manager who loses 40% can tell his investors, "We're in this for the long run," and believe it. But the investors may not believe it and bail. Even if the manager is right, no one's around to benefit.

Or when you have a great idea that will take time to prove, but your boss and coworkers aren't as patient.

Patience is often stubbornness in disguise

The world constantly changes, which makes changing your mind essential. Long-term thinking can become a crutch for those who are wrong but don't want to admit that something used to be true, but the world moved on from there.

Doing long-term thinking means identifying when you're patient or just stubborn. Know the few things in your industry that will never change and accept that everything else will need constant updating and adapting.

It's hard to know how you'll react to decline

You may feel that everything will be fine if stocks fell 30%. You may even see it as an opportunity.

But stocks fall 30% because there's a collapse, a terrorist attack, or a pandemic. In that context, you may instead switch to a survival mindset and not have the endurance you imagined.

Long term is more about flexibility

A long term horizon with a set end date is as reliant on chance as a short time horizon. You don't know what the world will look like in ten years' time.

A superior view has a flexible end date. It is true that time is compounding's magic. But the odds of success is deepest when you mix a long time horizon with an indefinite end date. The more flexibility you have, the less you need to know what is up next.
