With their track record, they are all great in their own ways. Two themes appear to be common among them:

Buy only what you know. This is the essence of picking stocks. You need to know what you are buying and not blind following of the masses. Once you know what is of interest, is to be able to determine its value.

Buy at value prices. This will increase the winning rate by increasing the safety margin and potentially yield greater returns.

There is one thing that is out of control of all men, that is the broad market and macroeconomic factors. Although Buffett learnt from Graham, he had the advantage of the US market boom and the major market downturns for him to capitalise on. All men could wisely navigate the market conditions to reap great returns most of the time, whether it was buying or shorting the stock.

It is really hard to pick the best guru when all are gurus. However, Buffett is easily the best known guru who readily offers great wisdom and his quotes and ‘rules’ are readily known and applied by many in their investment journey. So, the guru that probably has helped the most get started and perhaps even excel in their investment journey is Buffett.
