A 'peripheral girl' going ashore means finding an honest man to marry, hiding her achievements and past, pretending those experiences never existed. A trader going ashore means staying far away from any leverage in the market that could lead to liquidation, becoming a value investor and achieving steady growth through reasonable allocation. Do you know what 'going ashore' means for a value investor? It’s shutting down the company and enjoying life with beautiful women and beaches In 1956, 62-year-old Graham shut down his fund company. His long-term returns outperformed the market by 2.5% annually, which is already incredible. But he chose to retire and move to California to enjoy life. That’s so rare. Earning a lot and still wanting to earn more is the norm for most people. Buffett couldn’t bear to retire his whole life.
