Key takeaways — The Intelligent Investor

- ✓ Gamitin ang Mr. Market sa iyong pabor sa pamamagitan ng pagbili kapag siya ay makulit na pessimistic at pagbebenta kapag siya ay sobra-sobrang optimistic, sa halip na sundin ang emosyon niya.
- ✓ Isabagay ang pananaw ng isang Defensive Investor, na nakatuon sa sistematikong pagpili ng mataas na kalidad na mga negosyo na undervalued at pagpapanatili ng isang balanseng, diversified na portfolio.
Key takeaways — Think and Grow Rich
- ✓ Magkaroon ng isang Tiiyak na Pangkalahatang Layunin para sa iyong samahan, na ang bawat desisyon at paggamit ng yaman ay nakatuon sa isang malinaw at nakakahikayat na bisyon ng tagumpay.
- ✓ Gamitin ang Master Mind Principle sa pamamagitan ng pagbuo ng isang grupo ng mga eksperto at tagapayo, upang makabuo ng kolektibong talino na higit pa sa kabuuan ng mga bahagi nito.
