Investing: Reading From Various News Sources

I try to read news from more than one source. If you read only one newspaper you will quickly learn that they have their own biases. But if you read from four or five, if you get your news from four or five different sources, you will find there are many different points of view. You put them together and maybe you will come up with the right answer.

Markets: I Do Not Work Nearly As Hard As I Used To

My Days As A Hedge Fund Manager

I never set my alarm clock (unless I had an early meeting) because I wanted to be sure that I woke up fully rested and I could hardly wait to get to the office. I arrived in the office and I started reading everything in sight and often stayed till ten or eleven, I often stayed pretty late at night because I loved being there. I wanted to know everything, I felt I had to know everything in order to succeed because the world is always changing and what is true today may not be correct tomorrow so I stayed on top of everything.

Lessons About Life & Investing

The main thing is to figure out your own passion. Figure out what you love. Do not listen to your parents, your teachers, your friends. Find out what you love a lot. Everybody loves something, sometimes you have to figure out what it is.

Sometimes people will laugh at you if you say, "I want to be a gardener". Some will say, "That is absurd!" But if that is what you want to do and you know it, do it and become a gardener. You are going to be very happy. The people who do what they love never go to work. They wake up every day and start having fun. These are the people that are the most successful, doing what they love.

 If you are going to invest, it is the same thing. Only invest in what you, yourself know a lot about. Do not listen to me, do not listen to the TV, the internet, the newspapers. Just listen to what you, yourself know about. You will know better than anybody when something new is happenning, when things are going to succeed and that how you invest.
