El Teorema de Bayes, Munger y el comportamiento
El Teorema de Bayes suele enseñarse (casi siempre) como una fórmula, pero en realidad puede entenderse como una filosofía de pensamiento. Según Bayes, toda creencia debería ser revisable y revisitada, y cada vez que aparece y nos llega nueva información, lo racional es ajustar nuestra posición y perspectiva.

DIVIDENDS OR SHARE BUYBACKS, THAT´S THE QUESTION!
In the world of corporate finance, companies have two primary ways of returning value to their shareholders: traditional dividend payments or buying back their own shares. Both approaches influence a company’s stock price, signal something about management’s perspective on future prospects, and carry various implications for investors and the broader market. But how do you decide which method is more suitable, and under what circumstances?
LA NUEVA MENTE DEL MERCADO: CÓMO LA IA ESTÁ REVOLUCIONANDO LAS FINANZAS DEL COMPORTAMIENTO
Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword in the world of finance. It offers an incredible toolkit to diagnose and correct our most ingrained behavioral flaws, potentially making investors more successful. Yet it also introduces novel risks by becoming an actor in the market itself, complete with its own systematic machine biases and the frightening prospect of algorithmic herding. The line between human and machine decision-making in finance is blurring, creating a new market ecosystem defined by their interaction. The new market mind is here, and whether it leads to a more rational market or new forms of systemic fragility will depend entirely on the behavioral wisdom we embed in its code.

These conditions are crucial for what the speaker defines as "liderar" (to lead), which is distinct from merely "mandar" (to order) and instead focuses on inspiring, mobilizing, and fostering alignment between mind and heart to create a shared, exciting vision.

CAPM, ¿SÍ O NO?
El Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) es, probablemente, el modelo más influyente —y cuestionado— de la historia de las finanzas modernas. Su fórmula, tan simple como potente, ha servido durante décadas como punto de partida para valorar activos, estimar el coste del equity y evaluar carteras. Pero hoy, más de 60 años después de su nacimiento, las preguntas se acumulan: ¿sirve todavía? ¿Debe seguir enseñándose en escuelas de negocios? ¿Es útil o solo elegante?
