More quotes by Seth Klarman
The government can indefinitely control both short-term and long-term interest rates.
Seth Klarman
It's awful to have a depression, but it's a great thing to have a depression mentality because it means that we are not speculating, we are not living beyond our means, we don't quit our job to take a big risk because we know we might not get another job. There is something stable about a country, a society built on those values.

Investing today may well be harder than it has been at any time in our three decades of existence.

When a Wall Street analyst or broker expresses optimism, investors must take it with a grain of salt.
Seth Klarman
In a rising market, everyone makes money and a value philosophy is unnecessary. But because there is no certain way to predict what the market will do, one must follow a value philosophy at all times.
Seth Klarman
Having clients with a long-term orientation is crucial. Nothing else is as important to the success of an investment firm.
Seth Klarman
Like to have a catalyst - reduces dependence on the market: Distressed debt inherently has a catalyst - maturity.
Seth Klarman
Because investors are not usually penalized for adhering to conventional practices, doing so is the less professionally risky strategy, even though it virtually guarantees against superior performance.
Seth Klarman
Value investing is predicated on the efficient market hypothesis being wrong.
Seth Klarman
There are no long-term lessons - ever.
Seth Klarman
Value investing requires a great deal of hard work, unusually strict discipline, and a long-term investment horizon. Few are willing and able to devote sufficient time and effort to become value investors, and only a fraction of those have the proper mind-set to succeed.
Seth Klarman
At equal returns, public investments are generally superior to private investments not only because they are more liquid but also because amidst distress, public markets are more likely than private ones to offer attractive opportunities to average down.
Seth Klarman
People should be highly sceptical of anyone's including their own, ability to predict the future, and instead pursue strategies that can survive whatever may occur.
Seth Klarman
When managers are afraid of redemptions, they get liquid. We all saw how many managers went from leveraged long in 2007 to huge net cash in 2008, when the right thing to do in terms of value would have been to do the opposite.
