“Which martial art is superior?”
As a true master of martial arts, Bruce Lee studied kung fu, taekwondo, karate, judo, American boxing, fencing, wrestling, and more.
With so much experience, people would ask him his opinion on the “best” martial art. Here’s how he’d respond:
“There is no fixed teaching. All I can provide is an appropriate medicine for a particular ailment.”
Said another way, there’s no single best martial art discipline. You should choose the one that helps you defeat a particular opponent in a particular situation and on a particular day.
This principle also applies to the world of investing. After all, investors who can read the flow of financial trends, cut through the noise, and adapt without being rigid are the ones who thrive.
In this exclusive webinar, Professor Joel Litman, Chairman and CEO of Valens Research and Chief Investment Officer of Altimetry Financial Research, will explore how Lee’s principles align with the traits of elite investors.

Using real market insights and valuation strategies, Professor Litman will uncover:
Adaptability in Market Cycles – Just as Lee emphasized flexibility in combat, investors must recognize when market sentiment shifts, distinguishing between genuine opportunities and speculative bubbles.
Discipline and Data-Driven Investing – The best investors don’t react emotionally to hype. Like a skilled martial artist, they rely on precision and fundamental analysis to make informed moves.
Seeing Through Illusions – Many stock valuations can be misleading, much like feints in a fight. Learn how to detect true market strength and avoid pitfalls by understanding what’s behind the financial statements.
Recognizing Market Bubbles Before They Burst – Drawing insights from history, Professor Litman will discuss the signs of speculative bubbles, when they form, and how to position yourself before they collapse.
This engaging session draws parallels between Lee’s philosophies and the qualities of successful investors, focusing on discipline, adaptability, and strategic thinking.
