- 10% of successful investing is finding a great investment. The other 90% is not selling them.
- The longer I invest the more I realize you get 1-2 really great opportunities every few years. The rest of the time is spent wondering if you will ever get another great opportunity again and convincing yourself to own mediocre opportunities while you wait.
- Why can't wine prices go negative
- Been waiting years to tweet this.. “In bear markets, stocks return to their rightful owners.” - J.P. Morgan

- In 1948, Ben Graham broke his rules and put 20% of his firms capital to work buying 50% of GEICO. By 1972, it was a 562 bagger, returning more to his partners than all his other investments combined. You only need to find one great company early to change your life.

- Bull Market - Financial Independence Bear Market - I love my job
- Sam Walton at age 44 opened his first Wal-Mart. Ray Kroc took over McDonald’s at age 52. Colonel Sanders first franchised his secret recipe, “Kentucky Fried Chicken” at age 62. It’s never too late to get started. Your story isn’t finished yet. Make the next chapter a great one.
