Bernard Baruch
It is far more difficult... to know when to sell a stock than when to buy.

Bernard Baruch
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Bernard Baruch
Learn to take losses quickly and cleanly. There is something about inside information which seems to paralyze a man's reasoning powers. Beware of barbers, beauticians, waiters - or anyone - bringing gifts of 'inside' information or tips. Don't try to be a jack of all investment. Stick to the field you know best.
Bernard Baruch
All economic movements, by their very nature, are motivated by crowd psychology.
Bernard Baruch
We are living in a highly organized state of socialism. The state is all the individual is of importance only as he contributes to the welfare of the state. His property is only his as the state does not need it. He must hold his life and his possessions at the call of the state.
Bernard Baruch
Agriculture is the greatest and fundamentally the most important of our industries. The cities are but the branches of the tree of national life, the roots of which go deeply into the land. We all flourish or decline with the farmer.
Bernard Baruch
Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
Bernard Baruch
