Since I can't trade with them anymore because of the sanctions against Russia and the war outbreak, I don't know how long these sanctions will last. So, I decided to write it off as a loss.

In the world of instant gratification, remember: The biggest gains take time.

Money is a tool, not a master. Let's make sure it's serving us, not the other way around. Let's use it to build a better life, not just a better status. Remember, the best things in life aren't things. They're experiences.

@European_DGI Thank you :) took me a while, but now I'm back

"When valuing an asset, use the simplest model that you can. If you can value an asset with three inputs, don’t use five. If you can value a company with three years of forecasts, forecasting 10 years of cash flows is asking for trouble. Less is more." Aswath Damodaran, The Little Book of Valuation

"The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell." James Montier, The Little Book of Behavioral Investing

Risk management isn't about running away from risks; it's about comprehending and minimizing them. The key is taking calculated risks.

Value investing is more than just finding a good deal, it's about understanding the true worth.

Businesses are worth way more than just their tangible assets when they can generate earnings that surpass market rates of return.

"An investor is a person who is convinced that long term investment returns are perfectly correlated to the underlying earnings of the business bought in relation to the paid price." Sven Carlin, Modern Value Investing

Smart alone won't cut it. The top investors are disciplined, patient, and forever hungry to learn.

Patience isn't just a virtue, it's a strategy that gives you an investing edge.
