Making mistakes doesn't feel great, but they can provide some lessons you might not have learned otherwise. We asked this year's rising stars of Wall Street to open up about the biggest missteps of their careers so far and what they took away from them. Some shared their rookie errors — like slamming their laptop shut after forgetting to save their first big pitch deck or duplicating a trade — while others gave more reflective answers about how early career mistakes impacted their paths. We've got to iterate and change how we do things, and I think that's helped our team's process a lot. So my mistakes also brought me here, and everything that has been a mistake is always a learning experience.

Criticisms of small caps abound, though Hartman doesn't see any of them as valid reasons to ignore the group entirely. But to Hartman, those perceived flaws can actually be sound reasons to invest in small caps. "In the small-cap and micro-cap market, there's a lot of volatility," Hartman said in a recent interview with Insider. The small-cap fund also seemingly has no limit on the number of stocks it can hold. Investors can play the industrials sector with commercial aerospace stocks, Hartman said.

The risk, they have warned, is that large basis positions could once again exacerbate vulnerabilities in the U.S. bond market, which is a linchpin of the world's financial system.

☆ Why value investor Bill Nygren calls this media spinoff the best trade of his career
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-07 | by ( Samantha Subin | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

More than three decades after the money-winning trade, Bill Nygren still calls buying up shares of Liberty Media as it was spun off from Tele-Communications Inc. one of the best stock moves of his career. When the spinoff occurred in 1991, the deal itself was complicated for investors to break down and analyze, Nygren explained. So they looked at an asset-by-asset valuation and determined that the assets inside Liberty were worth three times the cost of purchasing the TCI shares. The deal was structured so that TCI shareholders received the right to buy Liberty stock based on how much they owned. And, because Liberty came out a more levered company, the firm ended up owning about 15% of it, Nygren said.
