The highlights

What this book actually gives you, in short.

  • 1

    Treats the market as a business partner who quotes you a price every day — you are free to ignore him, and most days you should.

  • 2

    Insists on a margin of safety: buy far enough below your estimate of value that being somewhat wrong still leaves you whole.

  • 3

    Separates the defensive investor from the enterprising one, and is honest that most people should be the first.
