As 2016 comes to an
end, let’s look back at
some investing
wisdom...

The memory of the
financial community is
proverbially and
distressingly short.

Investor psychology can cause a
security to be priced just about
anywhere in the short run,
regardless of its fundamentals.
Howard Marks

5. “
”
There is a complicating factor that
makes the handling of investment
mistakes more difficult. This is the
ego in each of us.
Philip Fisher

Successful investing is about owning
businesses and reaping the huge
rewards provided by the dividends and
earnings growth of our nation’s – and,
for that matter, the world’s –
corporations.
John Bogle

You get recessions, you
have stock market declines.
If you don’t understand
that’s going to happen then
you’re not ready, you won’t
do well in the markets.
Peter Lynch

Dividends may not be the only
path for an individual
investor’s success, but if
there’s a better one, I have
yet to find it

thing that gives me
pleasure? It’s to see my
dividends coming in.
John D.
Rockefeller

I believe non-dividend
stocks aren’t much more
than baseball cards. They
are worth what you can
convince someone to pay
for it.

The successful investor
is usually an individual
who is inherently
interested in business
problems.

NOISE, you’re going
to miss a lot of
SIGNAL

The historical data support
one conclusion with unusual
force: To invest with
success, you must be a
long-term investor
John Bogle

There are 60,000 economists in the
U.S., many of them employed full-time
trying to forecast recessions and
interest rates, and if they could do it
successfully twice in a row, they'd all
be millionaires by now...as far as I
know, most of them are still gainfully
employed, which ought to tell us
something.
Peter Lynch

15. “
”
Many investors insist on
affixing exact values to their
investments, seeking precision
in an imprecise world, but
business value cannot be
precisely determined
