    you must thoroughly analyze a company, and the soundness of its underlying businesses, before you buy its stock;
    you must deliberately protect yourself against serious losses;
    you must aspire to “adequate,” not extraordinary, performance

    An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and an adequate return

    third and final example of the golden opportunities not recently available: A good part of our own operations on Wall Street had been concentrated on the purchase of bargain issues easily identified as such by the fact that they were selling at less than their share in the net current assets (working capital) alone, not counting the plant account and other assets, and after deducting all liabilities ahead of the stock.
