15 lessons from The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

15 lessons from The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham 1. Invest for the long term. The stock market is volatile in the short term, but it tends to trend upwards in the long term. 2. Invest in undervalued stocks. Value stocks are stocks that are trading for less than their intrinsic value. 3. Diversify your portfolio. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your money across different asset classes to reduce your risk. 4. Be patient. Don't expect to get rich quick. Investing takes time and effort. 5. Don't panic. The stock market will go up and down, but it will always recover in the long term. 6. Don't try to time the market. No one can predict when the market will go up or down. 7. Don't buy stocks because you think they're going to go up. Buy stocks because they're undervalued and you believe they will be worth more in the future. 8. Do your research. Before you buy a stock, make sure you understand the company and its industry. 9.

The small yet savage mammal appears to have had the upper hand and may have been moments away from devouring its dino dinner when suddenly, an avalanchelike flow of volcanic debris swept over the combatants, instantly killing and entombing them both. Cemented in stone, their skeletons intertwined and the mammal’s teeth chomping down onto two of the dinosaur’s ribs, they lay together through the ages until a discovery in 2012 by a farmer. The researchers who have analyzed the fossil assert today in Scientific Rep
