Quote on Inversion

This quote is my favourite . It just means that one should try to invert the problem in order to solve it. Inversion may not solve the problem but can make it easy to solve it. . For example : If one want to take brilliant decisions in life, he should first stop taking stupid decisions.

It's only when tide goes out that you discover who's been swimming naked.

Warren buffett's quote   The above Buffett quote is based on the market cycle and debt. It means that when the market is at the full wing at the top and people are happy they leverage there position ; which can be hazardous for one's financial health. For eg: Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger had a partner who leveraged his position and the when the tide turned he had to sell his share to Warren Buffett just because he had was leveraged.

Peter lynch's quote   The above quote is written in the book One up on Wall Street. This quote means that industry where there is lower growth, entire of new firms is rare because it is very to compete with existing firms and many other reasons like that. In this book he have given example of company name Philip Morris Ltd. Who is in the business of selling cigarettes. Cigarette industry have being declining in terms of volumes for many decades still they have manage to earn higher profits by increasing prices .Also the industry do not attract compitition because of government policies and the reputation of the existing companies. The above example also stands true in case of ITC Ltd. Opposite to example is the credit/loan industry and retailing which over the year's have attracted massive compitition.
