I thought the quote below was a great thought, and really
distinguishes the difference between the investing styles of someone like
Warren Buffett and someone like George Soros, both of whom were wildly successful
doing it their own way. This is from the book More
Money Than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite:
“Soros saw
no point in knowing everything about a few stocks in the hope of anticipating
small moves; the game was to know a little about a lot of things, so that you
could spot the places where the big wave might be coming.”
