“In the stock market (as in much of life), the beginning of wisdom is admitting your ignorance. One of the many things you cannot know about stocks is exactly when they will up or go down. Over the long term, stocks generally rise at a nice pace. History shows they double in value every seven years or so. But in the short term, stocks are just plain wild. Over periods of days, weeks and months, no one has any idea what they will do. Still, nearly all investors think they are smart enough to divine such short-term movements. This hubris frequently gets them into trouble.” ThinkingKnowsYearsLongStillsIdeasEnoughShowsValuesTermNiceTroubleWeekMovementIgnoranceDivineMonthsPeriodsSmartSevenLong TermPaceInvestorsSeven YearsShort TermAdmittingHubris Author:James K.

“I have been moving around all my life. Going to different schools, living in different houses, shedding old roles, assuming new ones. This way of life is as natural to me as staying in one place is for other people. I do variations on the theme. I return to places where I used to be. I find my old personas. I try them on. If they still fit, I wear them out to a party or a show. If they begin to restrict my movements, I take them off. I am a human being, capable of mimicking anything I see or remember or can imagine.” PeopleIfsWayTryingHumansHas BeensStillsDifferentShowsSchoolRememberMovingLife IsUsedHouseNaturalHuman BeingsPartyRolesImagineMovementIdentityReturnFitCapableAssumingUsed To BeThemeStayingVariationPersonaMimicking Book:Falling Through Space Source: Falling Through Space
