- “Reflections on the Past for Investors Today”
- US Banking Panics
- “The last panic prior to the Depression sheds light on this debate. In April 1929, a fruit fly infestation in Florida forced the U.S. government to quarantine fruit shipments from the state and destroy infested groves. When Congress recessed in June without approving compensation for farmers, depositors in citrus growing regions began withdrawing deposits from banks, culminating in runs on institutions in the financial center of Tampa and surrounding cities.”
- Treasure Hunting Venture Capitalists
-
“A great deal of investing comes down to a process of identifying innovators, scrutinizing imitators, and screening out idiots.”
-
- Bubble Investing
- “In simple terms, bubbles are booms that went bad. Not all booms are bad.”
- Shareholder Activism in the 17th Century
- “Publishing their complaints in pamphlets, the shareholders mobilized public opinion and attempted to convince merchants not to invest in the Dutch West India Company, which was being incorporated at the same time. They exerted pressure on the government to ensure that more rights were granted to the shareholders when the VOC Charter was extended.”
