But I was not always this successful in the stock market. I remember when I started investing for the first time, reading the best expert advice available, and eagerly trying them out. Unlike most other investors, I took notes on what really worked and what hurt over time. What I found was astounding! But first: Look at the records of the value investing greats and ask yourself this Have they become so successful by diversifying their portfolios into 100s of different stocks or by buying index funds? Do they buy and hold the stock forever, without regard to the changing fundamentals, and reinvest the dividends blindly? Do they lose sleep when the stock they own declines or do they rub hands in glee at finding "sale prices"? How do they know the price is a steal? Astounding find: The investing basics that you so believe in are not really true If this was the only story, there would be no need for this book. What is truly mind blowing is that there is really NO PROOF to back up the fundamental basics of investing as it is being told to regular investors.
