  1. Hi Jack,
    Love this quote: “As I see it, long-term investing reflects the culture of the intellectual, the philosopher, and the historian, and short-term speculation reflects the culture of the statistician, the technician, and the alchemist.”

    Thanks for all of these articles and speeches. They are treasurers.

  2. Hi Jack,

    As a longtime investor with Vanguard and student (albeit an amateur) of the markets and history I wonder what Ben Graham would say if he were alive today to watch the daily CNBC coverage (ie investing vs. speculation). More importantly–what were his thoughts regarding your 1951 Princeton thesis. I would love to read a transcript of your transcendent work–where might I find this important document–as I have searched on-line, to no avail? Mr. Morgan was clearly impressed with your scholarship.
