· Price is the most important factor. What you pay for an investment will determine your rate of return. Thus, you should always aim to pay a low price for a good investment.

· You should only invest in companies that have an expected annual compounding rate of return of 15% or higher.

· While short-term gains of 35% may sound great, it is better to consistently generate 20% plus returns.

· The best way to create wealth is to buy good businesses and hold them for the long-term so that the power of compounding can multiply your wealth.

· Buy companies with predictable and above-average earnings and profitability.

· Companies that have a sustainable competitive advantage tend to witness consistent long-term growth.
