Investors are tempted daily by misleading or incomplete information. They may make a lucky bet, realize a sizable profit, and find themselves full of confidence. Their next high-stakes gamble might backfire, not only hitting them in the balance sheet but also taking a mental and emotional toll. Even veteran investors can be caught off guard: a news item may suddenly cause havoc for an industry they've invested in; crowd mentality among fellow investors may skew the market; a CEO may turn out to be unprepared to effectively guide a company. How can one stay focused in such a volatile profession? If you can't trust your past successes to plan and predict, how can you avoid risky situations in the future?

In Big Money Thinks Small, veteran fund manager Joel Tillinghast shows investors how to avoid making these mistakes. He offers a set of simple but crucial steps to successful investing, including:
- Know yourself, how you arrive at decisions, and how you might be susceptible to self-deception.
- Make decisions based on your own expertise, and do not invest in what you don't understand.
- Select only trustworthy and capable colleagues and collaborators.
- Learn how to identify and avoid investments with inherent flaws.
- Always search for bargains, and never forget that the first responsibility of an investor is to identify mispriced stocks.

Patience and methodical planning will pay far greater dividends than flashy investments. Tillinghast teaches readers how to learn from their mistakes--and his own, giving investors the tools to ask the right questions in any situation and to think objectively and generatively about portfolio management.

2nd time is a charm
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro LX 0W-30
I purchased this for a DIY oil change on my wife's Infiniti QX30 (power train sourced from Mercedes). Doing it myself, I saved about $70 over the dealership's advertised synthetic oil change. I actually enjoy this type of maintenance work, and I get to pick the parts and fluids used. And I like Pennzoil synthetics better than several other domestic brands. However, the package as received showed that there was oil leaking from one or more bottles. Amazon had kept the oil in the original Pennzoil case, so Amazon was not to blame for the leakage. I immediately opened the case and cleaned and inspected each quart. Several had caps that were not on tight! I think that overall more than 1/8 of a quart had leaked. I'm glad I was home when the package was delivered, otherwise I would have had an oil stain on my front porch concrete floor. Now that would have really p...ed me off! So Pennzoil needs to better seal their quart bottles (QA issue?) and Amazon should check for this type of issue (it was obvious on the outer Amazon box) and not deliver when there are signs of leakage. Update - 8/11/23 Purchased a second time for my annual oil change on the QX30. This time the case was delivered without leakage. Buying from Amazon is a big time saver, as the Euro LX 0W30 is difficult to find at retail.

Best oil choice for exotics that take this blend
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro LX 0W-30
This is the closest thing to Mopar oil specifically made for exotics. I use it in my Alfa Romeo when I can't find Mopar for a decent price. 8000+ miles before an oil change is required

This is very hard to find item.
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro LX 0W-30
This is one of the lowest VOC oils. Important if your vehicle is GDI. Should help keep valves cleaner.

Went with a 30 weight because of ambient temperatures
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro LX 0W-30
Running this in my wife's 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. We live in Arizona and 100+ temps is normal thing. Did a lot of research on this before I decided on running a 30 weight, technically a 40 weight is recommended for our temperature. I noticed that her car was rattling on startup and was worse when it was a hot start. After switching to a 0w-30 I noticed the noise was substantially less. Fuel mileage was not changed she's still averaging 32mpg with her manual transmission vehicle. I've done my research and yes I know about staying with the factory recommended weight but we don't see subzero temperature and we are definitely not seeing the the average 80f summers. 40Fwinters and 105F summers are the norm here. Yes ambient temps effect oil decisions. I also prefer Euro Spec oils over SAE because of Europes extended drain intervals of 10-12k miles. I change every 5k or 6 months.
