Greg Canavan

Greg Canavan is the editorial director of Fat Tail Investment Research and Editor of flagship investment letter, Fat Tail Investment Advisory.

This service seeks to understand a company’s underlying (intrinsic) value and recognises there is at times a big difference between price and value.

Underlying value changes slowly, but price moves around considerably. Investor emotions play a big role in this movement, and Greg often discusses the role of emotions on price.

If you can understand and recognise the role of emotions in investing, you are ahead of the crowd.

You need to have conviction to buy or hold in volatile periods. You also need humility. You have to accept that sometimes you’ll be wrong. Most people get into trouble by only seeing what they want to see, and refusing to change their mind.

While Greg focuses on valuation, he also examines charts for insights. Charts represent the emotional mood of the market, and when combined with fundamental analysis, charting analysis can be very insightful.
