In true meditation the emphasis is on being awareness; not on being aware of objects, but on resting as primordial awareness itself.

Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.

Investing is the intersection of economics and psychology. The analysis is actually the easy part. The economics, the valuation of the business isn't that hard.

Knowing whether you stand there, buy more, or whether something has legitimately gone wrong and you need to sell, those are harder things. That you learn with experience, by having the right psychological makeup.
