"Successful investing requires thoughtful attention to many separate aspects, all at the same time. Omit any one and the result is likely to be less than satisfactory."
This resounded to me because everyone uses asset values in vacuum when trying to understand a company instead of looking at multiple aspects.
Outliar you might want to read the whole book. I read the book in 2012, right after that I invested in public bank, when everyone said it was overvalued and boring compared to manufacturing stocks.
While average investors have been practicing 1st level thinking, I'd like to think I've been practising 2nd level thinking for quite a while now.
Public bank is overvalued, don't buy. 1st level thinking.
Public bank is overvalued, because it has the best assets and deposits in Malaysia. When there is a economic crisis, public bank will hurt least, and recover faster. It is rock solid. Buy! 2nd level thinking.

the young ones pays too much attention to value here, value there because of the popularity of popular teachers.......
they need to re direct their attention to the actual business, the quality and reputation and the correct stories/ business sense.....
Philip is good enough to have found it 10 years ago.....who will take another 10 years to realise it?
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
