“If you write something that gets a bad response, or someone commits candor or is off message, there are often consequences almost immediately when it appears in the paper or a magazine, that somebody gets called into the boss's office. And sometimes it can result in a loss of access for the reporter.” IfsWritingSometimesLossResultsOfficePaperMessagesConsequenceResponseAccessCommitMagazinesBossReportersCandor Author:Ron Suskind

“A price decline is of no real importance to the bona fide investor unless it is either very substantial say, more than a third from cost or unless it reflects a known deterioration of consequence in the company's position. In a well-defined bear market many sound common stocks sell temporarily at extraordinary low prices. It is possible that the investor may then have a paper loss of fully 50 per cent on some of his holdings, without any convincing indication that the underlying values have been permanently affected.” WellsMayHas BeensRealValuesSoundLossCommonCompanyKnownPositionBearsCostPaperLowsConsequenceThirdsImportanceSellsExtraordinaryDefinedAffectedInvestorsDeclineCentsConvincingIndicationDeterioration Author:Benjamin Graham
“I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child, as an eight- or nine-year-old, asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels, and I would say 'What does that mean?'” WorldYearsFirstsMeanChildrenDoeWarRememberMovingYoungFoundLossTeacherFlowerPaperRedAskingExtraordinaryEightNineWar Of The WorldsYoung ChildrenNine YearsPoppiesFirst World WarVery MovingPaper Flowers Author:Tom Hiddleston
“The correct method for tracking the stock market is to use semilogarithmic chart paper, since the market's history is sensibly related only on a percentage basis. The investor is concerned with percentage gain or loss, not the number of points traveled in a market average. Arithmetic scale is quite acceptable for tracking hourly waves. Channeling techniques work acceptably well on arithmetic scale with shorter term moves.” WellsUseMovingTermLossNumbersPaperGainsConcernedBasesMethodAverageWaveTechniqueScalesRelatedInvestorsAcceptableTraveledPercentagesChannelingArithmeticTracking Author:Robert Prechter
“You can find many philosophy papers on the themes of 'love' and 'friendship,' most of which are cheerful and somewhat anodyne; you don't find many on the loss of friends, relatives, and lovers from death or alienation, though it happens all the time.” PhilosophyHappensLossLoversPaperThemeCheerfulPapersAlienationLove And FriendshipLoss Of A Friend Author:Catherine Wilson
“I can't predict how reading habits will change. But I will say that the greatest loss is the paper archive - no more a great stack of manuscripts, letters, and notebooks from a writer's life, but only a tiny pile of disks, little plastic cookies where once were calligraphic marvels.” LittlesI CanReadingLossHabitPaperLettersTinyPlasticCookiesNotebookManuscriptsArchivesReading HabitsDisk Author:Paul Theroux
