An uneasy week that saw most indices weak. The entire commodity complex came crashing down. Gold, copper, silver, oil, grains… pretty much every commodity was down.

Thought for the weekend
Big money is in buying and holding great businesses acquired at reasonable valuations. Owning such businesses will produce gut-wrenching roller coaster rides which the investor has to have the willingness to take. They can’t avoid those rides by jumping out and trying to get back in, and attempts to do so are likely to be unsuccessful. So, the best strategy is to stay put and bear it.
