Important lessons learned from the last 2 years.

1. Always buy good quality stocks.
2. Do not over-diversify.
3. Monitor the business.
4. Do not be influenced by the market price.
5. Do not follow or be influenced by the crowd. The crowd is often wrong.
6. Volatility in the market is a friend, take advantage of it.
7. Always buy at bargain price. Always buy with a margin of safety, at a discount to the fundamental intrinsic value.
8. Do not lose your capital. Even in March 2009, the portfolio still showed a gain.
9. Develop a good investing philosophy and strategy. Stick to them.
10. Invest for the long term.
11. Understand your emotions to greed and fear. Challenge them before reacting. Are these rational or appropriate given the facts?
12. It is often alright to do nothing.

Happy New Year to all.
