Vitaliy Katsenelson challenges the simplistic notion that value investing is about buying only the cheapest stocks.

Quotes to ponder:

"I thought value investors were supposed to like cheap stuff."

"A $36-a-night room at Motel 6 by the airport, overrun by cockroaches and bedbugs and with questionable plumbing, may be statistically cheap, but it’s not a bargain."

"Charlie is not a ‘sidekick’! Charlie changed Buffett’s investment philosophy. Sidekicks don’t do that."
