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
Image

Bernard Baruch
Image
Never pay the slightest attention to what a company president ever says about his stock.
Bernard Baruch
Image
If you have made a mistake cut your losses as quickly as possible.
Bernard Baruch
Image

Bernard Baruch
Image
There are no such things as incurables. There are only things for which man has not found a cure.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.
Bernard Baruch
