“When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.” IfsWorldWayWarSoulBigsScienceFallLostWishFearLossMoneyCasesShareEventsHotAskingSavedMy SoulAgentsEaseWar Of The WorldsPrizeWorld War IiWorld War IPotatoesNobelLumpsNobel Prize Author:Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

“... skepticism about past returns is crucial. The truth is, much as you may wish you could know which funds will be hot, you can't - and neither can the legions of advisers and publications that claim they can. That's why building a portfolio around index funds isn't really settling for average. It's just refusing to believe in magic.” KnowsBelieveMayPastWishMagicBuildingReturnTruth IsClaimsHotInvestingAverageSettlingFundCrucialSkepticismWish YouPublicationAdviserLegionPortfoliosIndex Funds Author:Bethany McLean
