All the real money in investment will have to be made as most of it has been in the past not out of buying and selling but out of owning and holding securities, receiving interests and dividends therein, and benefiting from their long-term increases in value. Hence stockholder's major energies and wisdom as investors should be directed toward assuring themselves of the best operating results from their corporations. This in turn means assuring themselves of fully honest and competent managements.

Benjamin Graham

It is possible that the investor may then have a paper loss of fully 50 per cent on some of his holdings, without any convincing indication that the underlying values have been permanently affected.

The real targets of terrorism are the rest of us: the billions of us who are not killed but are terrorized because of the killing.

The press helps every time it writes scare stories about the plot and the threat. And if we're terrified, and we share that fear, we help.
