My Collection of Investment Quotes

This is where I stored my personal collection of wise investment quotes during my day to day reading as I feel that they are worth to be remembered.  -- gotothings.com

"Consider buying shares of the offeror if it is listed, after evaluating its business model and the reasons for doing the takeover.  In my case, this rationale has worked a number of times.  When I got my money back in the takeover of Keppel Capital Holdings 15 years ago, I used it to buy the shares of the offeror, OCBC Bank.  My only regret is not doing the same with Singapore Food Industries (SFI) when it was bought by Singapore Airport Terminal Services (Sats) in 2008.  In the eight years since taking over SFI, SATA has almost quadrupled in price."  -- Goh Eng Yeow

"The number of really brilliant companies is finite, so when you do have one, it might be better to buy more than to go out to find something else."  -- Goh Eng Yeow

"Warren decided early in his career it would be impossible for him to make hundreds of right investment decisions, so he decided that he would invest only in the businesses that he was absolutely sure of, and then bet heavily on them.  He owes 90% of his wealth to just ten investments." -- David Clark

"Experience tends to confirm a long-held notion that being prepared, on a few occasions in a lifetime, to act promptly in scale, in doing some simple and logical thing, will often dramatically improve the financial results of that lifetime.  A few major opportunities, clearly recognizable as such, will usually come to one who continuously searches and waits, with a curious mind that loves diagnosis, involving multiple variables."  -- Charlie Munger

"The stock market crash and the Great Depression caused many people to simply give up on owning stocks."  -- Charlie Munger

"For the Graham value investor, it is precisely when Mr. Market is depressed that the greatest opportunities to purchase assets exists.  Stocks at that time are likely to be mispriced to an extent that generates a significant bargain."  -- Charlie Munger

"As long as the fundamentals of the business itself remain in place, a market's short-term views on the price of the shares can be ignored and will be  corrected in the long term."  -- Charlie Munger

"People are better off as investors when they ignore the herd instinct and stick with their own plans." -- Carl Richards

"Never buy what everybody else is buying; never buy what the so-called experts recommend; never touched any investment that I don't know better than the seller; and never invest in anything that I can't manage myself and have absolutely no control over." -- Vina Ip

"If someone tries to sell you something that requires decisions that are too hard, you have the option to just say no.  Why would  you do what is hard when you can find investments that involve easy decisions."  -- Charlie Munger

"By learning the most useful concepts across a wide spread of disciples, we can see patterns and solve problems better than people around us.  We can become a great stock-picker as we are able to think in broad terms, replying on the lattice of big ideas that was mentally built up as models in our head to make better investment decisions."  -- Charlie Munger

"Most investors are often willing to invest only after they feel 'safe', which is often the worst time."  -- William Cai

"Checking prices on a daily basis when you're investing for the long term is like planting a seed and inspecting it every hour." -- David Kuo

"When investing, people talk about buying low and selling high.  As a trend trader, it's about buying higher on an uptrend, or selling lower on a downtrend, and it is almost the opposite of value investing."  -- Nabil Mattar
