Règles d'Investissement Classiques
Plongez dans les principes d'investissement intemporels qui ont guidé des générations d'investisseurs prospères.

→Flexibilité
Il est impossible de produire une performance supérieure sans faire quelque chose de différent de la majorité. Soyez flexible dans votre approche.
→Investissement Basé sur la Recherche
N'achetez jamais une action sans recherche approfondie. Sachez ce que vous possédez et pourquoi.

Les seuls investisseurs qui ne devraient pas diversifier sont ceux qui ont raison 100% du temps. Pour les autres, patience et diversification sont essentielles.
→Humilité dans l'Investissement

3. **Valuation Focus**: Buffett values **company quality** (moat, management), Templeton focuses more on **market sentiment** and valuation levels
4. **Holding Period**: Buffett "holds forever," Templeton sells after valuation recovery

Practical Application
Can ordinary investors apply Templeton's method?
✅ Yes, but requires: 1) **Strong psychology** (courage to buy during panic, endure paper losses) 2) **Global perspective** (monitor markets in multiple countries, not just home country) 3) **Long-term patience** (hold 3-5+ years, wait for market recovery) 4) **Adequate liquidity** (ensure not forced to sell at bottom).
**Suggestion**: Ordinary investors can buy index funds in batches when markets fall 30%+ (e.g., S&P 500 ETF, MSCI World Index), rather than trying to time individual stocks. Set up automatic investment plans, increase buying when VIX >40.

Theory Deep Dive
What is the "Maximum Pessimism Principle"?
This is Templeton's core investment theory: market prices are severely undervalued during extreme pessimism, offering maximum returns when buying. Key indicators include: 1) Extremely negative market sentiment 2) Valuations at historical lows 3) Quality companies wrongly punished. Classic example: Templeton bought all stocks under $1 when WWII broke out in 1939, and all became profitable. He believed "bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria."
Basic Usage
What is Templeton's investment philosophy?
John Templeton was a pioneer in contrarian and global investing. His core philosophy is the "Maximum Pessimism Principle": buy quality assets when others are most pessimistic and markets are panicking. Templeton believed the best time to buy is at "the point of maximum pessimism," and the greatest opportunities emerge during times of greatest fear. He emphasized a global perspective, not limiting himself to a single market, seeking undervalued opportunities worldwide.
Effectiveness & Accuracy
Is Templeton's global contrarian investing still effective today?
Core principles still effective, more global opportunities:
✅ **Why still effective**:
- Human nature unchanged: panic causes over-selling, euphoria causes over-buying
- Information asymmetry still exists globally
- Emerging market development provides more contrarian opportunities
📊 **Recent examples**:
- 2022 extreme pessimism on China, 2023 rebound
- Pandemic-era airline and travel stocks bounced sharply after panic selling
⚠️ **Current challenges**:
- ETFs and passive investing changed market structure
- Information spreads faster, arbitrage windows shorter
- Geopolitical risks increase uncertainty in global investing
💡 **Key**: Templeton method's core isn't "buy cheap" but "stay rational during panic"

Templeton's method for identifying maximum pessimism:
**Signal characteristics**:
1. Media filled with doomsday narratives
2. Massive fund redemptions by investors
3. Analysts universally bearish
4. Stock valuations at historical lows
5. Good and bad companies sold indiscriminately
