Joseph Taylor is an Associate Investment Specialist, Morningstar Australia.

Joseph’s Bookworm column is released every Tuesday. This week, Joseph sourced some buy and hold investing inspiration from the most unlikely of sources.

The famous investor Rob Arnott once said that “in investing, what is comfortable is rarely profitable”. Joseph looked at how embracing discomfort might help an investor pursue an edge in the market.

Joseph also looked at two beaten-up ASX shares with moats that could offer a ‘buy the dip’ opportunity to long-term investors. See them here.
