The Intelligent Investor - 01
The sillier the market's behavior,the greater the opportunity for the?
business- like investor.
★Core Principles:
1.A stock is not just a ticker symbol or an electronic blip光點;it is an?
ownership interest in an actual business,with an underlying潛在的/基本的
value that does not depend on its share price.
2.The market is a pendulum鐘擺 that forever swings between unsustainable
optimism and unjustified pessimism悲觀主義. The intelligent investor
is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.
3.The future value of every investment is a function of its present
price.The higher the price you pay, the lower your return will be.
4.No matter how careful you are, the one risk no investor can ever?
eliminate is the risk of being wrong.Only by insisting on what Graham called
"margin of safety" ————never overpaying,no matter how exciting an investment
seems to be ———— can you minimize your odds of error.
5.The secret to your financial success is inside yourself.If you become a?
critical thinker who takes no Wall Street "fact" on faith,and you invest with?
patient confidence,you can take steady advantage of even the worst bear?
markets.By developing your discipline and courage,you can refuse to let other
people's mood swings govern your financial destiny. In the end,how your?
investment behave is much less important than how you behave.
------
There are no sure and easy paths to riches on Wall Street or anywhere else.
Obvious prospects前景 for physical growth in a business do not translate
into obvious profits for investors.
The experts do not have dependable ways of selecting and concentrating
on the most promising companies in the most promising industries.
★The investor's cheif problem————and even his worst enemy is likely to be?
himself.
That kind of intelligence has nothing to do with IQ or SAT scores,it simply
means being patient,disciplined,and eager to learn,you must also be able to?
harness把控 your emotions and think of yourself.
While enthusiasm may be necessary for great accomplishments elsewhere,on
Wall Street it almost invariably總是 leads to disaster.
The intelligent investor dreads擔心 a bull market,since it makes stocks?
more costly to buy. And conversely(So long as you keep enough cash on hand
to meet your spending needs),you should welcome a bear market,since it?
puts stocks back on sale.
