On: "What math/physics/economics topic should I learn about for long term investing"
Top pick
Applied Probability and Statistics (Compounding & Bayesian Updating)
Study applied probability and statistics with an emphasis on compounding, geometric returns, and Bayesian updating. This equips you to measure asymmetric risk, understand volatility drag, and update your theses without falling prey to emotional market noise. Pair this quantitative baseline with the economic fundamentals of interest rates and market incentives.
Runner-up
Introductory microeconomics focusing on discounted cash flow valuation, interest rates, and incentive alignment.
Wildcard
Information theory and the Kelly criterion to understand optimal position sizing under real-world uncertainty.
Best time
Start immediately with basic probability and compounding math before committing capital to individual assets.

aligned
Average confidence 87%
All experts agree applied probability and statistics is the primary discipline, with minor supporting roles for economics.

Where they agree
✓Applied probability and statistics matters far more than physics or advanced mathematics.
✓Understanding compounding, volatility drag, and risk of ruin is essential for long-term investors.
✓Physics analogies offer minimal practical utility compared to decision under uncertainty.
Where they diverge
↔Google prioritizes formal Bayesian inference, whereas Anthropic and OpenAI stress applied compounding.
↔Anthropic recommends pairing probability with DCF valuation and interest rate mechanics.
↔OpenAI highlights market efficiency and incentive theory rather than specific valuation formulas.
