“Foreign policy commands attention when it's crisis management. A street revolt breaks out in Egypt or Libya or Kiev and everyone asks, how should the president respond? Now these are important parts of America's role in the world, but they are essentially reactive and tactical.

“Investors should pay attention not only to whether but also to why current holdings are undervalued. It is critical to know why you have made an investment and to sell when the reason for owning it no longer applies.

Give reference to companies having good managements with a personal financial stake in the business. Finally, diversify your holdings and hedge when it is financially attractive to do so.” KnowsGivingShouldLooksMayMadeReasonValuesPayAttentionCompanyManagementSellsInvestmentFinancialCurrentsCriticalRealizationPay AttentionAttractiveGood ManInvestorsStakesCatalystUndervaluedOwning It Author:Seth Klarman
