"Don't look for the needle in the haystack. Just buy the haystack."
— John Bogle

— John Bogle
"Never overpay for a security, no matter how exciting the story. The price you pay determines your return. Discipline in valuation is the foundation of investment success."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Always estimate the intrinsic value of a business before investing. Compare price to value, not price to past price. The gap between price and value is where profits are made."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Invest in businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong cash flows, and management integrity. Quality businesses compound wealth over time and reduce downside risk."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Before investing, identify the moat — the sustainable competitive advantage that protects the business from competitors. No moat means no long-term edge."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Not all earnings are equal. Look for recurring, cash-backed earnings rather than accounting profits. High-quality earnings are predictable, sustainable, and convertible to free cash flow."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"The most successful investors stay within their circle of competence. Know what you understand well and resist the temptation to venture outside it."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Surface-level knowledge is dangerous in investing. Develop deep expertise in your areas of focus. True understanding means knowing what could go wrong."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Expand your circle of competence gradually over time. Each new area of expertise adds potential opportunities, but only if mastered thoroughly."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Markets are driven by fear and greed. The disciplined investor exploits these emotions rather than being controlled by them. Emotional control is the key competitive advantage."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Understanding crowd psychology is essential. When everyone agrees, the opportunity has usually passed. The best time to act is when the crowd is most fearful or most confident."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"The best investments often feel uncomfortable because they go against popular opinion. If everyone loves a stock, it's probably overpriced. If everyone hates it, investigate."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →

"The cardinal rule of investing: buy only when the price is significantly below your conservative estimate of intrinsic value. This builds in protection against error."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"The stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don't have to swing at every pitch. Wait for the fat pitch — the opportunity that offers exceptional risk-reward."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Have clear, pre-defined sell criteria. Sell when: your thesis is broken, valuation is fully realized, or a significantly better opportunity appears."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →

"Draw insights from multiple disciplines — psychology, history, mathematics, and science — to build a lattice of mental models for better investment decisions."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Think in probabilities, not certainties. Every investment has a range of possible outcomes. Weight your decisions by the expected value of each scenario."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →

"A clear investment philosophy provides an anchor in turbulent times. Know what you believe, why you believe it, and stick to it when tested."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Focus on process, not outcomes. A good process can produce bad outcomes in the short run, but will generate superior results over time."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Evaluate management by their actions, not their words. Look for a track record of capital allocation, shareholder communication, and aligned incentives."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Understand the industry structure before evaluating any company. Industry economics often matter more than company-specific factors in determining returns."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →

"The best investors never stop learning. Read voraciously, study history, learn from mistakes, and stay curious about the world. Knowledge compounds like interest."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"The ideal investment is a high-quality business purchased at a fair price. Quality compounds wealth; fair prices protect capital."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Never invest in a business you cannot explain in simple terms. If you can't describe why a company is valuable, you don't understand it well enough to own it."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Look for investments where a specific catalyst will unlock value. Without a catalyst, even cheap stocks can remain undervalued indefinitely."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"The greatest enemy of the investor is himself. Fear, greed, regret, and pride cause more losses than any economic event. Master your emotions to master the market."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Know the common behavioral biases that trap investors: anchoring, confirmation bias, loss aversion, and herding. Awareness is the first step to prevention."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Think independently. The crowd is often wrong at extremes, and following popular opinion is a reliable path to mediocre returns. Form your own informed views."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"The market exists to serve you, not to guide you. Use market prices to your advantage — buy when the market offers bargains and sell when it offers premiums."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
"Markets move in cycles driven by human emotion. Understanding where you are in the cycle helps you prepare for what comes next and position accordingly."اقرأ التحليل الكامل →
