"It is natural to assume that industries
which have fared worse than the average are "unfavorably situated" and therefore
to be avoided. The converse would be assumed, of course, for those with superior
records. But this conclusion may often prove quite erroneous. Abnormally good or
abnormally bad conditions do not last forever. This is true not only of general
business but of particular industries as well. Corrective forces are often set
in motion which tend to restore profits where they have disappeared, or to
reduce them where they are excessive in relation to capital" - Benjamin
Graham
