Rothschild: How He Used To Invest

"It may have been Meyer Rothschild, the German banker and patriarch of the legendary House of Rothschild who, when asked how he got so rich, attributed his success to two things. He said he always bought when there was blood in the streets - panic, chaos - when despondency gripped the markets. (in old man Rothschild case, investing amid the turbulence of the Napoleonic wars, the blood was as likely to be literal as it was to be figurative.) And he always sold "too soon". He did not wait for the enthusiasm to peak. He always knew when to get out, and he got out in time with all his money." - in Adventure Capitalist

The Reason You Want To Buy Something Cheap

The reason you want to buy something cheap is so that you don`t have much risk; if you are wrong, you are not going to suffer too badly. Buying something cheap does not do you any good on its own; it might stay cheap for years. You`ve got to have a reason why it`s going to change and why something is going to get better.  - in Trading The World`s Markets - Interviews With The Great Global Investors

The Way Bull Markets Work

"The way bull markets work throughout history is, they go slowly and then they start rising more and more and the more and more people start jumping in. Then the fundamentals get so exciting it usually turns into a bubble, prices go beyond anybody`s comprehension. And at that point you have a big bubble. Now that`s still several years away.

The supply is so low, inventories worldwide of agricultural products are near historical lows, we are running out of farmers, we are running out of everything. When the supply is under serious duress, demand continuos to grow, this is called a bull market and it will be a bubble before its over." - in The Big Show

The Austrian School Of Economics

Well, if you go back to previous periods in history, in the early Twenties, for instance, America had an economic problem, and believe it or not they raised interest rates, they balanced the budget. They had a terrible year or two in the early Twenties, but then they had one of the most prosperous and exciting economic decades in history, in American history.

The Scandinavians, in the early Nineties, had the same problem. They let people go bankrupt, they let the market take its course – that was a horrible pain for a couple of years, but then Scandinavia became one of the most prosperous parts of the world economy, over the next 10 – 15 years, so that solution works.

The Japanese, at the same time in the early Nineties, did the opposite. They refused to let people go bankrupt. They spent staggering amounts of money they didn't have. They printed a lot of money, and the Japanese still talk about the 1990s as a lost decade; now they talk about two lost decades. That has not worked – that system of, the tangient system, if you will, has not worked any time in history.

Hayek, as you call it, has worked. It's difficult for a while, but in the end you clean out the system. Many people, not just Hayek – but von Mises, Schumpeter – many economists throughout history have said, unless you clean out the system, anything after that is artificial, any recovery is artificial and it won't last. So far, they've been proved right, and Keynes has not been proved right. - in The Motley Fool UK

Compounding Rate: The Magic Of Investing
