I spend about fifteen minutes a year on economic analysis.
Owning stocks is like having children - don't get involved with more than you can handle.
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Your investor's edge is not something you get from Wall Street experts. It's something you already have. You can outperform the experts if you use your edge by investing in companies or industries you already understand.
Spend at least as much time researching a stock as you would choosing a refrigerator.
I deal in facts, not forecasting the future. That's crystal ball stuff. That doesn't work.
