6. “Buy and
Hold”
On September 1, 2001, after
twenty-two years as a professional
investor, we had a profound
observation that allowed us to
perfect The Coleman Method.
Past performance is no guarantee of future success. But, it is a clue.

7. “Buy and
Hold”
What was our
profound observation?
We observed that the stock market
environment was immaterial to value
creation. To Daedalus, the stock
market is basically a sideshow. To
Daedalus, the stocks that we own
are 'the market.' The rest of it does
not matter.

highly confident that we can use
The Coleman Method to deliver

Great Quote About Our Times
“...These days, facts seem overmatched by
falsehood, too slow to catch them, too weak
to stop them.
Indeed, falsehoods are harder to kill than a
Hollywood zombie. Run them through with
fact, and still they shamble forward, fueled
by echo chamber media, ideological
tribalism...”
