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.

A dangerous fallacy is to repudiate freedom in favor of an unknown future. What else but our own sturdy reliance on freedom can explain the unexampled record this country has made? In a period scarcely twice my own lifetime it has risen from nothingness to become the world's greatest power. It has become the ark of the covenant of freedom.

America has never forgotten - and never will forget - the nobler things that brought her into being and that light her path...

All economic movements, by their very nature, are motivated by crowd psychology.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.

Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can't be done except by liars.
