Who are the people who have these qualities and have used them to make a fortune?
• Benjamin Grahm- the father of Value Investing and author of excellent books on investing like-The Intelligent Investor.

• Chandrakant Sampat- legendary investor and only person in India-I know -who was able to predict the imminent collapse of the I.T. bubble in 1999 ( you might say that is so because I know very few people and I would agree with that). Again along with me, one of the few people that saw the dangerous levels of equity markets in 2008.
