Seth Klarman's "The Forgotten Lessons of 2008" has some pretty good reminders to not get carried away during the good times (forgetting the timeless lessons) and leaving us vulnerable for the bad times.

When luck/timing masquerades as skill.

My Portfolio snapshot from 04/14/2010. All these positions were acquired between late Dec'08 and 03/06/2009 (GFC bottom).

A hard look and few lessons from that time. ⬇️ Image
Some background :

After dabbling in some rookie trading in 07-08 (tiny portfolio) and getting my fingers burnt from a trade in Crocs (Oct'07, long story), I was mostly on the sidelines and just watched the Financial meltdown starting Sep'08.
Was lucky enough to read some Seth Klarman, Peter Lynch and Buffett stuff during Fall 2008 which put things in perspective.

My Monthly Learning Calendar for Investing.🗓️

If I had 1 hour per day (for non-Company related research), this is what I would do.

Going thru specific topics on specific days should help streamline the reading/learning process w/o causing too much information overload.
Investing in individual stocks is more than just company specific research.

It's about having a broader perspective on many topics including Investing principles/philosophy/history, Industry trends/landscapes, and thoughts/deep dives from other reliable sources.
I'm grateful to all these awesome folks that put out such quality content.

Also separate h/t to all the folks I follow on Twitter (list always growing, albeit slowly). You posts diversify and enrich my feed & learning.

Good presentation on Buffett's investing style. Plenty of wisdom & common sense packed in, with many useful pointers for individual investors too.

(If ppt doesn't open/download on Mobile, try on PC).

Some of my fav slides combined in the below thread.⬇️

Thread dedicated to Peter Lynch.🙏

Topic : "Co.'s making Products/Services you love and are increasingly using can make great potential investing candidates".

1⃣ My Laziness list : Consumer facing Co.'s that I used, loved & understood but still invested way too late.
Despite reading Peter Lynch in '08 and fully getting onboard (mentally) with his philosophy of investing in what you love/use, practically I still didn't apply this early enough. Why? Always getting attracted to some shiny new Co (I can't relate to) or an "amazingly cheap stock".
2⃣ My Crimes list : of selling great/relevant co.'s too early or never investing in other Co.'s I knew to be great for at least a decade.

"The Investment Checklist" by Michael Shearn is an excellent book for individual investors. On a practicality & usefulness scale, it's right up there with Peter Lynch and Pat Dorsey's books imo.
