We're still in a recession. We're not gonna be out of it for a while, but we will get out.
Warren Buffett

Intrinsic value can be defined simply: It is the discounted value of the cash that can be taken out of a business during its remaining life.

I do know that when I am 60, I should be attempting to achieve different personal goals than those which had priority at age 20.

People went crazy with tulip bulbs. They went crazy with the South Sea Bubble, they went crazy internet stocks, they went crazy with the uranium stocks back when I was first getting started.
