“A fresh, opportunity-minded mind, uncluttered by prejudice, is crucial for superior investing in an environment where the one constant, the one inevitability is change and industry group rotation. By definition, there can be no uninvestable industries.” - Barton Biggs

Quotes for the day
“Classical economic theory assumes that market participants act on the basis of perfect knowledge. That assumption is false. The participant's perceptions influence the market in which they participate, but the market action also influences the participant's perceptions. They cannot obtain perfect knowledge of the market because their thinking is always affecting the market and the market is affecting their thinking.” - George Soros

9. Make the other person feel important - and do so sincerely.
10 The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

“Success in investing doesn't correlate with I.Q. once you’re above the level of 125. Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.” - Warren Buffett
