4. Crypto down news
●
Digital currencies based on crypto are going
down in value.
●
A few years ago there were more technical
(geek) types and they prefer the HODL method.
●
As more day traders ( sheep ) speculators
became the majority, the prices shall fluctuate
wildly with no head or tail or reason.
●
This is the lesson called Meet The Crazy Mr.
Market by Benjamin Graham.

5. Ups and downs
More info on the lesson from 1949. 73 years old
idea.

There shall be high prices and low prices for all
shares. The same share shall have the high and
low price even if the value does not change much.
The idea is to know the value before buying and
buy at a price below the value.

6. Investors vs Speculators
The difference between speculators and investors
is simple.
Investors know the value and buy at a price below
the value.
Speculators do not know the value so they buy
based on the price.
The speculators even believe in something called
a “technical correction.” There can be no such
thing when the value is not considered.

7. Same old rules
Rule number one: Never lose money. Rule
number two: Never forget rule number one.
Never invest in businesses you cannot
understand.
Our favorite holding period is forever.
The market can price things wrong
When investing, innovate, do not follow
Never invest on borrowed money

8. Same old lessons
If the Business Does Well, the Stock Eventually
Follows
It's Far Better to Buy a Wonderful Company at a
Fair Price Than a Fair Company at a Wonderful
Price

9. Same old lessons
All digital currencies are currencies.
They might decrease in speed of mining but there
are thousands of currencies to dilute the total
capital of all digital currencies.
New ones keep getting created.
The ones that have kept their value are those
which are pegged to gold or some old currency
like the USD.

10. Same old lessons
Any token based digital currency is only alive until
the issuers do not run away with the money.
There is no guarantee that they shall not sell out
and run. So this is a major risk as compared to
investing in Gold, silver, commodities, copper or
other physical stuff.
Normal government currencies shall almost
always devalue because governments like to take
loans from their poor public people. Inflation is a
tax on the poorest by all governments.

11. Same old lessons
The best return is made by investing in your own
companies.
If you do not know how to make and run
companies, then get a group of the more serious (
hard working people with integrity ) together and
then invest time and resources into that group.
