“Unlike liberalism, with its fundamental belief in the long-range power of ideas, conservatism is bound by the stock of ideas inherited at a given time. And since it does not really believe in the power of argument, its last resort is generally a claim to superior wisdom, based on some self-arrogated superior quality.” BelieveLongDoeIdeasSelfLastsBeliefGivenQualityAuthorityArgumentClaimsFundamentalsBoundsSuperiorsRangeLiberalismResortsConservatismPower Of Ideas Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“Some people have criticized the United States and the United States military for guarding oil fields and not guarding the Iraqi National Museum which had priceless antiquities in it. They say that this shows a fundamental lack of respect for Iraqi history. I want to remind those people of this: The oldest relics in the museum, 5,000 or 6,000 years old. That oil is 65 million years old. You had to guard that. ... Those antiquities will only last another 5,000 or 6,000 years. When we burn that oil, those fumes will linger long after.” PeopleWantYearsLongStatesShowsLastsUnitedMillionsUnited StatesMilitaryFieldsFundamentalsOilMuseumsPricelessAntiquityOld YouRelicsGuardingUnited States MilitaryLack Of RespectOil Field Author:Jon Stewart
“Are we lost, or are we found at last? On earth we strive for our various needs, because so goes the fundamental law of man. Aloft, at least for a little while, the needs disappear. Likewise the striving. In the thoughts of man aloft, food and evil become mixed and sometimes reversed. This is the open door to wisdom. Aloft, the earth is ancient and man is young, regardless of his numbers, for there, aloft he may reaffirm his suspicions that he may not be so very much.

“Once a price move exceeds its median historical age, any method you use to analyze the market, whether it be fundamental or technical, is likely to be far more accurate. For example, if a chartist interprets a particular pattern as a top formation, but the market is only up 10% from the last low, the odds are high that the projection will be incorrect. However, if the market is up 25% to 30%, then the same type of formation should be given a great deal more weight.” IfsShouldUseAgeLastsMovingGivenDealsExampleParticularTypeLowsWeightMethodFundamentalsHistoricalPatternsAccurateOddsProjectionExceedFormationMedian Author:Victor Sperandeo
