If youre talented, dont go into a business in which the macro environment will determine your success.

-1-

What each decade is like is determined by the excesses of the prior decade.

-2-

If you can understand the linkages and not get carried away by the excitements of the times, you can maneuver strategically.

-3-

Whenever there's a boom and debts are rising faster than incomes, a bust will follow.

-4-

Governments will always choose to print money rather than tighten their belts, if the pain of debt gets bad enough.

-5-

Whatever career has the highest percentage increase in HBS grads going to it is probably headed for trouble.

-6-

You cant chase the good things you have to be ahead of them or early on their waves.

-7-

-8-

-9-

Whenever economic conditions are extremely one way and most people are sure that they will continue, they will probably reverse.

- 10 -

The most common mistake of investing is to assume that investments that had the highest returns over the past few years are the best investments rather than they have become expensive.

- 11 -

INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES

A portfolio is nothing more than the weighted average of its return streams. There are only 2 types of return streams: Alphas and Betas. You need to have a well thought out game plan that is based on knowing what your return streams are like and knowing how to combine them.
