I noticed two things: 

Talking about long term. Larry Summers' joke is that when people start talking about long term, they want to avoid responsibility.

James Kee's lesson learned. In 2007, bond guys warned James about credit crisis, but he had a dogmatic view relying on company data. Healthy balance sheet, P/E at the level of 1998 were important. He disregarded bearish bond guys. Since then, he watches the credit markets.
