Summary

Long term investing that provides low risk and high rates of return might sound imaginary, but we know it’s possible! But, if value investing is so great, then why doesn’t everyone do it? As Charlie Munger puts it, the concepts behind value investing are so simple and obvious, they can’t be taught in schools.

We will focus on the key concepts of value investing, starting where to start looking for your great companies.

sorts of reasons that have nothing to do with the value of the thing they're selling.

They just want out.
