Fear and greed are probably the worst emotions to have in connection with the purchase and sale of stocks.
Walter Schloss
Image
In the long run, a portfolio of well chosen stocks and/or equity mutual funds will always outperform a portfolio of bonds or a money-market account. In the long run, a portfolio of poorly chosen stocks won't outperform the money left under the mattress.
Peter Lynch

Actually, one of the better indicators historically of how well the stock market will do is just a Gallup poll, when you ask Americans if you think it's a good time to invest in stocks, except it goes the opposite direction of what you would expect. When the markets going up, it in fact makes it more prone toward decline.
Nate Silver

I think that's life in general. It's the way it is when we pick stocks, all of them don't always work, so I guess I come to the view naturally. That's just the way life is for human beings so its going to be just as true for policy.
Mellody Hobson

You have to understand accounting and you have to understand the nuances of accounting. It's the language of business and it's an imperfect language, but unless you are willing to put in the effort to learn accounting - how to read and interpret financial statements - you really shouldn't select stocks yourself
Warren Buffett

If stocks are attractive and you don't buy, you don't just look like an idiot, you are an idiot.
Jeremy Grantham
Image
Most of the time common stocks are subject to irrational and excessive price fluctuations in both directions as the consequence of the ingrained tendency of most people to speculate or gamble... to give way to hope, fear and greed.
Benjamin Graham
Image
Time and again, in every market cycle I have witnessed, the extremes of emotion always appear, even among experienced investors. When the world wants to buy only [bonds], you can almost close your eyes and [buy] stocks.
Michael Steinhardt
Image
An important key to investing is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets.
Peter Lynch
Image
Between eigtheen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
Andre Malraux
Image
A prediction about the direction of the stock market tells you nothing about where stocks are headed, but a whole lot about the person doing the predicting.
Warren Buffett
Image
Marine protected areas, and particularly no-take zones, are very effective in allowing regeneration of fish stocks.
Helen Clark
Image
The (stock) market is there only as a reference point to see if anybody is offering to do anything foolish. When we invest in stocks, we invest in businesses.
Warren Buffett
Image
If, instead of playing the horses, an individual chooses to play the market, that is his own affair. Only he must understand that speculating in stocks is gambling, not investing.
Catherine Crook de Camp
Image
Favored stocks underperform the market, while out-of-favor companies outperform the market, but the reappraisal often happens slowly, even glacially.
David Dreman
Image
Women tend to have a better track record in investing - when they invest - than men do, because they tend to take a longer-term perspective. They tend to trade less. They tend to shift in and out of stocks or mutual funds less often.
Sallie Krawcheck
Image
In the 1920s you could buy stocks on margin. You could put 10 percent down and borrow the rest against your stocks.
Ron Chernow
Image
The word passive does a disservice to investors considering their options. Indexing provides an effective means of owning the market and allows investors to participate in the returns of a basket of stocks. The basket of stocks changes over time as stocks are added or removed based on its rules.
Charles R. Schwab
Image
Mutual funds have historically offered safety and diversification. And they spare you the responsibility of picking individual stocks.
Ron Chernow
Image
It's dangerous to short stocks.
Charlie Munger
Image
There is such an overvaluation of technology stocks that it is absurd. I would include our stock in that category. It is bad for the long-term worth of the economy.
Steve Ballmer
Image
Stocks are a safe bet, but only if you stay invested long enough to ride out the . that squares with the facts, and with the historical record
Nick Murray
Image
As blue chips turn into penny stocks, Wall Street seems less like a symbol of America's macho capitalism and more like that famous Jane Austen character Mrs. Bennet, a flibbertigibbet always anxious about getting richer and her 'poor nerves.'
Maureen Dowd
Image
We already have an annual wealth tax on homes, the major asset of the middle class. It's called the property tax. Why not a small annual tax on the value of stocks and bonds, the major assets of the wealthy?
