Investing Philosophy in 10 Words

Morgan Housel asked several financial bloggers to sum up their investing philosophy in ten words. Here’s my entry:

“Be patient and ignore fads. Focus on value. Never panic.”

Here are some other favorites:

Barry Ritholtz, Bloomberg: “Keep it simple, do less, and manage your stupidity.”

Michael Batnick, Ritholtz Wealth Management: “Avoiding catastrophic mistakes matters more than constructing the ‘perfect portfolio.'”

Ben Carlson, author of A Wealth of Common Sense: “Less is more. Process over outcomes. Behavior is the key.”

You can probably spot some commonalities. Check out the whole list.
