Quote
Benjamin Graham
  • The fact that other people agree or disagree with you makes you neither right nor wrong. You will be right if your facts and your reasoning are correct.
  • Confronted with the challenge to distil the secret of sound investment into three words, we venture the motto, Margin of Safety.
  • Individuals who cannot master their emotions are ill-suited to profit from the investment process.
  • Many sceptics, it is true, are inclined to dismiss the whole procedure [chart reading] as akin to astrology or necromancy; but the sheer weight of its importance in Wall Street requires that its pretensions be examined with some degree of care.
