Stanley Druckenmiller: “A lot of my style is you [first] build a thesis, hopefully that no one else has built. You sort of put some positions on… Then when the thesis starts to evolve and people get on & you see the momentum start to change in your favor, then you really go for it. You pile into the trade.”

Peter Lynch: “You have to be looking for new companies and look at the balance sheet. If you can add 5 and 5 and get reasonably close to 10, you should be able to look at a balance sheet and say: here are 2 depressed companies, they’ve gone from $50 to $3 dollars. One company’s got $300 million in cash and no debt. One’s got $300 million in debt and no cash. Which one are you gonna buy? Not too hard.” Keep it simple.

Buffett said: “Well, you’ve answered your own question.”
