What is Shaan's investment strategy?

Shaan Puri has a distinct and aggressive investment strategy. He prefers engaging actively in his investments rather than a hands-off approach. While he does hold index funds, he intentionally focuses more on his businesses and specific high-stakes investments. Each year, he looks for one or two major opportunities where he can "push all the chips in" if he believes strongly in their potential, similar to his substantial investment in Alibaba at a critical time 1 2.

Shaan is also astute about market timing, particularly during recessions or bear markets, where he sees opportunities to buy undervalued assets 3. Additionally, he is skeptical about traditional investment advice, believing that his own businesses and select startups offer a higher potential return than average market investments 4.
