“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.

This hubris frequently gets them into trouble.” ThinkingKnowsYearsLongStillsIdeasEnoughShowsValuesTermNiceTroubleWeekMovementIgnoranceDivineMonthsPeriodsSmartSevenLong TermPaceInvestorsSeven YearsShort TermAdmittingHubris Author:James K.
