Post personal responses. Been thinking. Yes..Graham’s view is very much Warren Buffet in essence. Buy into a solid company and” go to sleep” for a few years. I will complicate this however by postulating that “ investors” have to be able to part with that money in the darkness theoretically not looking at share price. As Buffet said too. I do however feel that some / many “speculators” are just not in a position to do that. Hence being speculators. Of course it is a choice on their part...but circumstances may not permit the “darkness” of the sleep of the long term investor. Merry dance of fear and greed.....well.... fear certainly. Greed is desire. The personal circumstances of the investor/speculator can play a big part in their ddecision to be one or the other. I speak from example. I muddy the waters. But with good ( if not necessarily co-resonated) intentions) . The market has IMO very much become one of speculators ( private ...can’t speak for institutions). Very few work long term as far as I can see. And only those who can afford to live without looking at the share price. Most will take the money and run. I am just remarking on what I see. I respect either approach as we are the agents of our own existence...and choose accordingly. I am a specuvestor. My speculation re. Trin is behind me and investing ahead now. ( although I am a stock price watcher!) . Trin has everything ahead of it...would be nice to have a long sleep.It’d be refreshing anyway perhaps.
Forgive my rambling anyone. Cogito profundo ergo sum. Makes me difficult.
Raining here now you see :-(
Sitting in.
Ignore and enjoy weekend all
