I never ask if the market is going to go up or down because I don't know, and besides it doesn't matter.

Politicians who are willing to spend too much are the ones who get reelected.
John Templeton
Image
The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God? God is everyone and each of us is a little bit.
