Sir John Templeton is no more




Legendary Investor and Philanthropist Sir John Templeton is no more.

His sixteen rules of investment success shall guide generations of investors. My favorite quote of his goes, ' this century or next its still buy low sell high'.
Another one - An investor who has all the answers doesnt even understand the questions. He also said that he liked to buy at 'moments of maximum pessimisim'.

More known for his philanthropy work, and for the Templeton Awards( Mother Teresa happened to be a recipient before she won the nobel prize), he used the same yard sticks of investment in philanthropy too.


One of the best of all times
RIP.
