In the end, alchemy, whether it is metallurgical or financial, fails. A base business can not be transformed into a golden business by tricks of accounting or capital structure. The man claiming to be a financial alchemist may become rich. But gullible investors rather than business achievements will usually be the source of his wealth.

The .350 hitter expects, and also deserves, a big payoff for his performance - even if he plays for a cellar-dwelling team. And a .150 hitter should get no reward - even if he plays for a pennant winner.
Warren Buffett

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy. Take advantage of compound interest and don't be captivated by the siren song of the market.
Warren Buffett

In a difficult business, no sooner is one problem solved than another surfaces - never is there just one cockroach in the kitchen.

There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.
