It's too hard to quantify all that.

I like that
bobby fischer maxims; "--Incorporate an appropriate margin of safety- Only 'significantly' mispriced horses, not trivial close-calls, playing a long game, not a quick game. No emotions. Avoid stupidity. Capitalize on SIMPLE examples/opportunities of Mr. Market's stupidity/mistakes."
