Death of Legendary Fund Manager Sir John Templeton
Sir John Templeton passed away on 8 July 2008 at the age of 95. Another legend has left our world, but his ideas for investing will not be forgotten. From the article " Eight Lessons From Sir Templeton " by Mr John Christy at Forbes: All investing is global . Always take a contrarian approach ... ... But make sure the fundamentals are intact . Let valuation be your guide . Don't be afraid of big bets . Don't rush into positions . Get away from the crowd. Don't worry about the direction of the market. The advice he gave still holds in today's volatile markets, and is something I will remember as I continue my journey towards my return to fund management.
