STAY FOCUSED ON LONG TERM
What is important in investing? Only need tounderstand two things to be successful:
• Market psychology – highs and lows create opportunity• How to value a company – bottoms-up philosophy
ears wor s emse ves ou s ory as so ar provenit:
• Standard business cycle fluctuations – 2008 just more severe• “Central bankers alone cannot solve the world’s economic problems.”
- Ben Bernanke• “These scares are nothing new in financial history. Sometimes, the
scares are financial, and sometimes they are political. I can recall
worse scares than the current one.”

A WELL-GROUNDED INVESTMENT
PHILOSOPHY• “I am beginning to perceive that investors tend to follow
trends and fashion rather than taking the trouble to lookfor value. This must offer opportunity for theprofessional investment manager, as a result of the shortterm mispricing of securities.” - Longleaf Partners
“prior to the great bull market in August 1982.” DavidDreman
• “Over the long term, the value of businesses will bedriven by their fundamentals (their ability to grow theirassets and allocate capital), and the market willaccurately reflect that.”

INVESTMENT TAKEAWAYS
Beware of the market’s investment biases:• Myopic trading strategies
• Obsession over macro-trends• “Trading” volatility as an asset
• Extrapolation of existing trends• Herd mentality
e r g t way to nvest cons sts o ta ng a ong-termperspective, focused on:
• A contrarian bias “Stock prices rise when results defyexpectations. The greater the skepticism, the greater thepotential.”
• A focus on valuing companies/other income-producing assets
• A healthy skepticism of what the market is “saying”• Turning off CNBC!

AN EMPHASIS ON COMPANIES
The lost decade for stocks:
– Focus on the “underlying”
– A P/E multiple comparison (2000 vs. 2011)
• Wal-Mart (47x vs. 13x)
• J&J (40x vs. 13x)
• Cisco (99x vs. 11x)
• Microsoft (70x vs. 9x)
– Bodes well for the coming 3,5,10 years
– Returns over the long-term are compelling,especially for larger firms
