Dear Sir: Yours of the 24th. asking ‘the best mode of obtaining a thorough knowledge of the law’ is received. The mode is very simple, though laborious, and tedious. It is only to get the books, and read, and study them carefully. Begin with Blackstone’s Commentaries, and after reading it carefully through, say twice, take up Chitty’s Pleading, Greenleaf’s Evidence, & Story’s Equity &c. in succession.

Nature is blamed for failings that are Man’s,
And well-run rivers have to change their plans.

If you have the stomach for stocks, but neither the time nor the inclination to do the homework, invest in equity mutual funds.

In the long run, a portfolio of well chosen stocks and/or equity mutual funds will always outperform a portfolio of bonds or a money-market account. In the long run, a portfolio of poorly chosen stocks won’t outperform the money left under the mattress.

Equity mutual funds are the perfect solution for people who want to own stocks without doing their own research.

The S&P is up 343.8 percent for 10 years. That is a four-bagger. The general equity funds are up 283 percent. So it’s getting worse, the deterioration by professionals is getting worse. The public would be better off in an index fund.

Considering LEGO’s considerable brand equity, you might expect that the company must have a marketing budget in the billions. Not so. In fact, LEGO’s marketing budget is so modest that if I recorded it here, you’d probably think it was a typo. LEGO doesn’t do its own talking; it lets LEGO maniacs talk for it.

Private equity capital in each of those markets Europe and Asia – while those markets have very different characteristics – fills a niche where either strategic investors or the public markets don’t go, or don’t want to go for some particular reason.

We weren’t getting a fair deal on the budget and I wasn’t going to have it. There’s a great strand of equity and fairness in the British people – this is our characteristic.
