"Margin of Safety" by Seth Klarman is an incredible investing book.
But a used copy costs more than $2,000
Here are 20 lessons Seth Klarman learned from the Financial Crisis:
1. Things that have never happened before are bound to occur with some regularity
You must always be prepared for the unexpected, including sudden, sharp downward swings in markets and the economy.
Whatever adverse scenario you can contemplate, reality can be far worse.
2. When excesses such as lax lending standards become widespread and persist for some time, people are lulled into a false sense of security, creating an even more dangerous situation
In some cases, excess misreading and regional or national borders.
