Long ago, Ben Graham taught me that
What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history.
Risk can be greatly reduced by concentrating on only a few holdings.
The critical investment factor is determining the intrinsic value of a business and paying a fair or bargain price.
It’s class warfare; my class is winning, but they shouldn’t be.
I really like my life. I've arranged my life so that I can do what I want.
We have long felt that the only value of stock forecasters is to make fortune-tellers look good.
An investor should act as though he had a lifetime decision card with just twenty punches on it.
You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Much success can be attributed to inactivity. Most investors cannot resist the temptation to constantly buy and sell.
For some reason people take their cues from price action rather than from values. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner.
Buy into a company because you want to own it, not because you want the stock to go up.
If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.
