On long-term investing : chance and the garden -- On the nature of returns : Occam's razor -- On asset allocation : the riddle of performance attribution -- On simplicity : how to come down to where you ought to be -- On indexing : the triumph of experience over hope -- On equity styles : tick-tack-toe -- On bonds : treadmill to oblivion? -- On global investing : acres of diamonds -- On selecting superior funds : the search for the holy grail -- On reversion to the mean : Sir Isaac Newton's revenge on Wall Street.
