Stocks Quotes

“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.”

“Some great investments are not bought on the open market or Big Board. They are grown economically by entrepreneurs in exceedingly small towns. An investment in the neighborhood or family is an asset to all involved.”

“When you were making excuses someone else was making enterprise.”

“Outsiders can do very little harm to a Share, the real harm is done by ‘suspecting shareholders’ and the rest follows!

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.”

“According to the media and other stock market "experts," the equities bull is forever hiding just around that next corner on Wall Street. But millions of investors who listened to the experts back in 1998-2001 about "the New Economy" get hammered in the stock market and are still trying to get back to even. The smart investor looks for opportunities to acquire value on the cheap, with one eye out for a dynamic change in the offing that might make that investment even more valuable.”

“A pre-recorded message, timed to go off just as the crowd was reaching a fever pitch. A way to get them to take that one step further and push them from civility and into madness. Stocks are running out. Stocks are running out. STOCKS ARE RUNNING OUT.”

“In Trading, Every Setback is a Setup for a Comeback.”

“He concluded that do-it-yourself online stock trading was the best way to increase personal wealth, believing that allowing employers to manage one’s money through 401(k) plans and other middleman investment strategies was for suckers and fools. He believed nobody would ever care about your kids, your significant other, or your money more than you do. That is just common sense—real-life 101.”
