Share Grahamian Value Week in Review

“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn't read all the time — none, zero. You'd be amazed at how much Warren reads, and at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I'm a book with a couple of legs sticking out.”

― Charlie Munger

“One of the things we’ve done – Edwin and I – is hold over a hundred companies in our portfolio. Now Warren [Buffett] has said to me that, that is a defense against stupidity. And my argument was, and I made it to Warren, we can’t project the earnings of these companies, they’re secondary companies, but somewhere along the line some of them will work. Now I can’t tell you which ones, so I buy a hundred of them.” ― Walter Schloss

“‘Ick investing’ means taking a special analytical interest in stocks that inspire a first reaction of ‘ick.’ I tend to become interested in stocks that by their very names or circumstances inspire unwillingness — and an ‘ick’ accompanied by a wrinkle of the nose on the part of most investors to delve any further.” ― Dr. Michael Burry
