Stock Market Quotes

“Perhaps there is no better illustration of the ethical impotency of the modern church than its failure to deal with the evils and ethical problems of stock manipulation. Millions in property values are created by pure legerdemain. Stock dividends, watered stock and excessive rise in stock values, due to the productivity of the modern machine, are accepted by the church without murmur if only a slight return is made by the beneficiaries through church philanthropies [1927].”

“We are a nation of shareholders," he had said more than once to Seema, trying to articulate his brand of no-nonsense but compassionate capitalism.... Several times during his Greyhound trip, Barry had paused to consider that, although he loved his fellow passengers deeply, he could not trust them at the voting booth because they were not shareholders. They did not understand the thrill and the pain and the obligation of owning a part of their country.”

“The Dark Cloud Is the memory bank you have which time does not seem to heal Is the speed with which you block men who lie that they care about how you feel Is the questioning of where society is going and whether our icy coldness will lead us to complete destruction Is the stock market obsession some of us have and how we crave calculated instruction”

“Intrinsic Value Calculations for Stocks are only for a selected few. It is boring, mundane hard work. For everyone else who wants to make money, there is the 'Greater Fool Theory', and it also works remarkably well in the real world. You may not believe it, but there always exists a bigger or greater fool willing to pay a higher price.”

“The Liquid Pantomime by Stewart Stafford Time is life’s shareholder: Youth’s dark angel investor, Midlife’s white shark creditor, The old's Arctic blood liquidator. Debt, the fledgling's terra incognita, Misfortune's looking glass kvetch, Chicks for the boardroom wolf pit, Waddling forth in immature escrow. Margin call missives arrive at thirty, Backstick pressures piping up, Distressingly hostile AGM invites, Disbelief morphs into resignation. Cracking knees bear bankruptcy, Written off in a balance sheet's glance, No hibernation in a bear market, Phased out for new stock issues daily. © 2026, Stewart Stafford. All rights reserved.”

“Outsiders can do very little harm to a Share, the real harm is done by ‘suspecting shareholders’ and the rest follows! If you are suspicious, just sell the damned share and move to the one you can feel confident & comfortable! Life becomes much easier for yourselves and the rest of shareholders. No!?”

“A bubble starts when any group of stocks, in this case those associated with the excitement of the Internet, begin to rise. The updraft encourages more people to buy the stocks, which causes more TV and print coverage, which causes even more people to buy, which creates big profits for early Internet stockholders. The successful investors tell you at cocktail parties how easy it is to get rich, which causes the stocks to rise further, which pulls in larger and larger groups of investors. But the whole mechanism is a kind of Ponzi scheme where more and more credulous investors must be found to buy the stock from the earlier investors. Eventually, one runs out of greater fools.”
