If you have made a mistake cut your losses as quickly as possible.
Bernard Baruch

The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
Bernard Baruch

Now is always the hardest time to invest.
Bernard Baruch

When beggars and shoeshine boys, barbers and beauticians can tell you how to get rich it is time to remind yourself that there is no more dangerous illusion than the belief that one can get something for nothing.
Bernard Baruch
Image
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
It is far more difficult... to know when to sell a stock than when to buy.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking.
Bernard Baruch
Image
So efficient are the available instruments of slavery fingerprints, lie detectors, brain washings, gas chambers that we shiver at the thought of political change which might put these instruments in the hands of men of hate.
Bernard Baruch
Image
The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them.
Bernard Baruch
Image
To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.
Bernard Baruch
Image
Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.
Bernard Baruch

Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
