Investing is easy if you follow the RULES • KNOW YOURSELF • Are you Schumacher or Buffet? If not – Why not Hire them! • Have a 3 – 5 year outlook Time is the friend of a good business • Proper asset allocation prevents panic attacks! • Have reasonable return expectation: 15% CAGR compounds to lot of money! • In equities – 6/10 is a good success rate • PAY FOR QUALITY • Good men make good companies : Relative goodness is good enough! • Good companies, like good men – are FEW! • Competitiveness & culture (Micro factors) matter more than Macro trends • IS IT IN THE PRICE? • Don’t double count factors!
