“You want to know a sure way to lose money? Buy what’s popular and don’t know what you are investing in.”

Where the earth is, we are.

Where the earth is, we are.

I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone, I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

What is too popular may not be profitable. Don’t invest in B2C companies, instead invest in B2B companies.

I myself am a private equity investor.

I think when markets go up and there is no manipulation in markets and people question the market going up and it keeps going up, that is a true bull market.
