Kindle Notes & Highlights

“Never buy a stock immediately after a substantial rise or sell one immediately after a substantial drop.”
“The investor who permits himself to be stampeded or unduly worried by unjustified market declines in his holdings is perversely transforming his basic advantage into a basic disadvantage.”
investing isn’t about beating others at their game. It’s about controlling yourself at your own game.
