What will you learn from this book
Takeaways
• Investors pay an exorbitant price for stocks when they chase stocks during bull runs or a bubble.
• Be cautious about the stock information fed to you by media, your friends, your neighbour or even your spouse. Always verify for yourself the accuracy of that information and don’t fall for hear-say.
• Rapid growth in any sector or company doesn’t mean the sector or company is making actual profits. It does not ensure good investment returns either.
• Do not buy what everybody else is buying. There is merit in contrarian investing.
• Value investing is the more rational option when compared to growth investing. Buy a stock with good fundamentals and the have the patience to be invested in it for the long run.
