Market timing, by the way, is a tag some buy-and-hold investors use to put down anything that involves using your brain. These are the same people who like to watch the locomotive coming and get run down in the name of discipline.

More quotes by Jeremy Grantham
I would say that financial markets are very inefficient, and capable of extremes of being completely dysfunctional.
Jeremy Grantham
You don't get rewarded for taking risk you get rewarded for buying cheap assets. And if the assets you bought got pushed up in price simply because they were risky, then you are not going to be rewarded for taking a risk you are going to be punished for it.
Jeremy Grantham
Americans are just about the worst at dealing with long-term problems, down there with Uzbekistan, but they respond to a market signal better than almost anyone. They roll the dice bigger and quicker than most.
Jeremy Grantham
The stock market is overpriced. Everything is overpriced. Junk is king.
Jeremy Grantham
Capitalism believes that its remit is exclusively to make maximum short-term profits.
Jeremy Grantham
Remember that history always repeats itself. Every great bubble in history has broken. There are no exceptions.
Jeremy Grantham
I think I'm right-brained, incapable of managing my way out of a brown paper bag.
Jeremy Grantham
I like to be right. I try not to miss the big ideas, forget the little ones, and try to get them right. End of job description.

There is no single theory that is used in economics that considers the finite nature of resources. It's shocking.
Jeremy Grantham
We live on a finite planet. We have finite resources, and we're running out of good, arable land.
Jeremy Grantham
Equities are boring bonds are disgusting.
Jeremy Grantham
I find the parallels between how some investors refuse to recognise the trends and our reaction to some of our environmental challenges very powerful. There is an unwillingness to process unpleasant data.
Jeremy Grantham
If stocks are attractive and you don't buy, you don't just look like an idiot, you are an idiot.
Jeremy Grantham
The pure administration of Graham-and-Doddery really needs a long-term lock-up like Warren Buffett has, or it will have occasional quite dreadful client problems.
Jeremy Grantham
The individual is far better-positioned to wait patiently for the right pitch while paying no regard to what others are doing, which is almost impossible for professionals.
Jeremy Grantham
Modern agriculture has been accurately described as a way of turning oil into food. As the price of oil continues to rise, so will the price of food.
Jeremy Grantham
Some societies are also more optimistic than others: the U.S. and Australia are my two picks Tell a European you think there’s a housing bubble and you’ll have a reasonable discussion. Tell an Australian and you’ll have World War III. Been there, done that!
Jeremy Grantham
You can't run the economy on BMWs alone. If the average person is in a pickle, how do you have a healthy economy?
Jeremy Grantham
There is a lot of pain still to be had in the equity markets, particularly aimed at the risky end of the spectrum. We think the fair value on the market is about a third lower in the U.S. . .
Jeremy Grantham
At least us old men remember what a real bear market is like, and the young men haven't got a clue.
