Essential Reading

How I Think About Money

  1. 01 You can't control where asset prices go, but if you're a self-directed investor, you can at least control your position sizing and this is crucial to surviving in the financial markets.
  2. 02 Learning before earning: education in the financial markets is essential if you intend to profit for the long term.
  3. 03 The power of compound interest and dividend reinvestment must not be overlooked or underestimated.
  4. 04 Proper diversification means more than just owning a large number of stocks.
  5. 05 In time, patience will be rewarded; sooner or later, haste will be punished.
