My biggest mistakes have all come from shorting great companies that I thought were overvalued.

The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect.

Read everything. The person who reads the most wins.

Transparency is the ultimate competitive advantage. If you share your mistakes, people trust your wins.

The best investment you can make is in your own physical health. Everything else follows from that.

I shorted Netflix and it taught me that being smart about valuation doesn't mean you're right about the stock.
