“Negative knowledge is the process of first looking at what does not work to eventually come to the realization of what does. This process of elimination may seem like a minor distinction and a backwards way of looking at the world, but once investors are able to negate bad behavior, all that's left over are improvements and better decisions.”

“For investors with a mature portfolio, the markets like 1928 to 1945, 1969 to 1977, and 2000 to 2008 can be especially challenging. But for those who have a decade or more until they will need to spend down their portfolio and have future earnings power to save money over time, these terrible market environments are a blessing. In extremely volatile, low-returning markets, savers are consistently being offered stocks at lower prices.”
