Monika Halan

Morgan Housel

Doing well with money is about behaviour, not brains: know what enough is, let compounding work, and stay in the game.

Eric Jorgenson

Build wealth through ownership and leverage, play long-term games with long-term people, and above all avoid ruin.

James Clear

You don't rise to your goals, you fall to your systems - automate the plan so good investing happens without willpower.

Vicki Robin & Joe Dominguez

The grandfather of the FIRE movement - change your whole relationship with money and time, not just your bank balance.

J. L. Collins

Own the whole market cheaply through a low-cost index fund and let it compound - the one simple path to freedom.

Scott Rieckens

John C. Bogle

Costs are the one certainty in an uncertain market - own the whole market cheaply and let the tyranny of fees work for you, not against you.

Charles D. Ellis

For amateurs, investing is a loser's game won by not losing - cut mistakes and costs, don't chase brilliance.

William Bernstein

Theory, history, psychology and business together make an investor - a sensible mix held through the scary parts beats any clever pick.

Parag Parikh

The market's biggest edge is mastering your own greed, fear and herd instinct - value investing works because most people can't sit still.

Philip Tetlock & Dan Gardner

Forecasting is a trainable skill if you keep score - put a number and a date on your view and check yourself.

Howard Marks

Risk is not how much a price wobbles, it's the chance of permanent loss - and you only learn you were reckless after the fact.

Roger Lowenstein

The smartest people in the room went broke through leverage - brilliance plus borrowed money is how sure things turn fatal.

Michael Batnick

Even the greatest investors blew up spectacularly - if they can be humbled, so can you, so size and diversify for it.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

You can be right and still be ruined by luck - don't mistake a lucky streak for skill, and respect the rare event that ends the game.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Never trust advice from someone who doesn't share your downside - asymmetry, accountability and avoiding ruin decide who survives.

Benoit Mandelbrot

Markets have fat tails - the 'once in a lifetime' crash arrives far more often than the bell curve promises, so plan for wildness.

Edward Thorp

A real, measured edge plus disciplined bet-sizing beats conviction - without an edge, the costs quietly grind you down.

Benjamin Graham

Treat the market as a moody servant, not a guide - buy with a margin of safety and let price, not emotion, decide.

Peter Lynch

Your everyday life is a stock-screening tool - you often spot great businesses as a customer before Wall Street does.

Pulak Prasad

Investing is avoidance first - reject almost every company, buy very few great ones, and almost never sell them.

Michael Mauboussin & Alfred Rappaport

Don't forecast the future - read the growth the current price already assumes, then bet only when that bar is clearly too high or too low.

Christopher Mayer

The rare 100-fold winner needs a great, reinvesting business and an owner with the patience to hold through gut-wrenching drops.

Santosh Nair
