REFLECTIONS

on INVESTMENT

The art of investing leans heavily

on common sense, which acts

both as a prop and a hindrance

to the learning process.

In compiling this booklet, we

have reflected on the patterns

of our own experience and on

common idiosyncrasies.

Identification of aberrant patterns

may result in a more refined pursuit

of the art.

to information have turned investing

into an open competition.

All can participate and a great many do,

so be sure to assess what edge you bring

to the process.

with mercenary intent.

more than its current price?

make a good investment.

It’s all about the price you pay.
