Essential Reading
How I Think About Money
- 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.
- 02 Learning before earning: education in the financial markets is essential if you intend to profit for the long term.
- 03 The power of compound interest and dividend reinvestment must not be overlooked or underestimated.
- 04 Proper diversification means more than just owning a large number of stocks.
- 05 In time, patience will be rewarded; sooner or later, haste will be punished.
