What you really want to do in investments is figure out what's important and knowable. If it's unimportant or unknowable you forget about it.

The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.

Investing is simple, but not easy.

People will always try to stop you from doing the right thing if it is unconventional.

You have to turn over a lot of rocks to find those little anomalies. You have to find the companies that are off the map - way off the map. You may find local companies that have nothing wrong with them at all. A company that I found, Western Insurance Securities, was trading for $3/share when it was earning $20/share!! I tried to buy up as much of it as possible. No one will tell you about these businesses. You have to find them.

I never buy anything unless I can fill out on a piece of paper my reasons. I may be wrong, but I would know the answer to that ...I'm paying $32 billion today for the Coca Cola Company because... If you can't answer that question, you shouldn't buy it. If you can answer that question, and you do it a few times, you'll make a lot of money.

Continually challenge and be willing to amend your best loved ideas.
