Quotes

"The investor’s chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself."
Graham, Benjamin(1894-1976) Legendary American investor, scholar, teacher and co-author of the 1934 classic, Security Analysis

   »  

"Most investors are pretty smart. Yet most investors also remain heavily invested in actively managed stock funds. This is puzzling. The temptation, of course, is to dismiss these folks as ignorant fools. But I suspect these folks know the odds are stacked against them, and yet they are more than happy to take their chances."

Clements, Jonathan, Journalist
