Short Term Pain for Long Term Gain.
Organic revenue growth is the most important driver of shareholder returns for companies with high returns on capital.
But most managers aren't willing to suffer for S.T, consequentially hurting their chances of L.T success.

Charlie Munger on Skin in the Game.
An example of a really responsible system is the system Romans used when they built an arch.
The guy who created the arch stood under it as the scaffolding was removed.
It's like packing your own parachute.

As investors we don't need perfection.Being fairly right with a good MOS suffices.
Focus on finding MOS & not why estimates were missed in a quarter.
Refrain from overuse of Excel spreadsheets. Not everything can be quantified correctly !
Nuanced judgement is needed.

Determining the Intrinsic Value is an art.
It is the sum of cash flows expected to be received from that asset, over the remaining useful life, discounted for the Time Value of money & uncertainty involved.
THIS ENTIRE CHAPTER IS A GOLDMINE.
Read it to appreciate it !

MOS matters.
When you pay a lot entry price, you don't need too many good things to happen to get good returns.Even bad news impact is restricted.
As Buffett states,
Rule no 1 : NEVER LOSE MONEY
Rule no 2 : NEVER FORGET RULE 1
Each line in this chapter is 👌

What has changed in its fundamentals ?
Much more in the 📗

Temperament matters !
Your lifetime track record as an investor will be determined primarily by HOW you conduct yourself during occasional periods of extreme market behaviour .
Be fearful when others are greedy.

Don't aim for exceptional returns. They won't last long!
Rather settle for Consistent Returns over a long time.
A Bull Market hides many mistakes which become visible in a Bear Market.
Develop a sound philosophy & stick to it.

We have two classes of forecasters .
Those who don't know & those who don't know that they don't know .
They shall fill your EARS , NEVER your POCKETS.
Stop wanting to make sense of everything & TIMING markets.
Focus on what can be controlled.

We remember the explicit cost. But it's the Opportunity Cost that matters!
Don't be penny wise,pound foolish.
Mistakes of Commission are capped to 100% but Mistakes of Omission have no ceiling !
Opp cost + Circle of Competence would in conjunction.

Keep learning & truly enjoy the Joys of Compounding in all aspects of life!
