“I now say that the world has the technology - either available or well advanced in the research pipeline - to feed on a sustainable basis a population of 10 billion people. The more pertinent question today is whether farmers and ranchers will be permitted to use this new technology?

“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

“My position is that the rate should align with the level of economic development. Because it is always about a balance, a balance of interests, and it should reflect this balance. A balance between those who sell something across the border and those who benefit from a low rate, as well as a balance between the interests of those who buy, who need the rate to be higher. A balance between national producers, for example, agricultural producers who are interested in it.” NeedsShouldWellsInterestLevelsEconomicExamplePositionDevelopmentBalanceHigherBenefitsLowsSellsRateProducersBordersEconomic Development Author:Vladimir Putin
