Well, there are companies whose earnings are excellent but whose stocks I would never recommend. In selecting investments, I attach prime importance to the men behind them. I'd rather buy brains and character than earnings. Earnings can be good one year and poor the next.

" And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. I know what you mean," said the little old man.
