When good news about the market hits the front page of the New York Times, sell.
jobs full-time-jobs
Don't speculate unless you can make it a full time job.
loss men trying
Learn to take losses quickly and cleanly. There is something about inside information which seems to paralyze a man's reasoning powers. Beware of barbers, beauticians, waiters - or anyone - bringing gifts of 'inside' information or tips. Don't try to be a jack of all investment. Stick to the field you know best.

Most of the successful people I know mostly listen, not talk.

We are here today to make a choice between the quick and the dead.

Never pay the slightest attention to what a company president ever says about his stock.
bridges economy crosses
We can't cross that bridge until we come to it, but I always like to lay down a pontoon ahead of time.
