💡Basket

In the context of the video, 'basket' is a metaphor for an investment opportunity. The script contrasts making $100 per basket from a long shot versus $20 per basket from a safer shot. It emphasizes the idea that taking safer, more predictable investments can lead to consistent wealth growth, rather than relying on high-risk, high-reward gambles.

💡Long Shots

The term 'long shots' refers to speculative investments in unproven or unprofitable stocks, which are considered high-risk due to their potential for high returns but also high losses. The script uses this term to illustrate the preference of some investors for high-risk investments, which can sometimes pay off but often result in significant losses.

💡Hindsight Bias

Hindsight bias is a cognitive bias where people believe they could have predicted an event after it has already happened. In the script, it is mentioned to describe how investors look back on successful companies like Amazon and wish they had invested early, not realizing the difficulty of predicting such success at the time.

💡Amazon

Amazon is used in the script as an example of a company that was once a small, unproven stock but has since become incredibly successful. It serves to illustrate the rarity of such success stories and the difficulty in identifying which new companies will become the next 'Amazon'.
