beautiful mean numbers
I mean it's the most objective industry in the world. If your numbers stink, you're out. If your numbers are good, you get more money. It's the most Darwinian, it's beautiful, it's brutal, it works.
mean giving credit
I mean that what makes me a professional, but the market itself has been fabulous during this whole period and I've got to give the market credit before I give myself credit.
opportunity games long
As long as you enjoy investing, you'll be willing to do the homework and stay in the game. That's why I try to make the show so entertaining, because if you aren't interested, you'll either miss the opportunity to make money in the market or not pay enough attention and end up losing your shirt.
world unexpected investors
A good investor in this new world knows to always expect the unexpected.
fire momentum playing-with-fire
But be very, very careful, because when you're playing with momentum, you're playing with fire.
years needs may
Whatever money you may need for the next five years, please take it out of the stock market right now, this week.
strong mean tape
I mean I'm not smarter than the market, but I can recognize a good tape and a bad tape. I recognize when it's right and when it's wrong and that's what my strength is.
jobs thinking losing
I've lost tremendous amounts of money in various markets and I think that that's something that makes you better at my job, not worse.
birthday fate years
Funny, but after trading for more than 15 years, I still am capable of forgetting a cardinal rule: The paper you own, in the end, will be intertwined with the fate of the 30-year bond.
opportunity long bulls
Remember, I am neither a bear nor a bull, I am an agnostic opportunist. I want to make money short- and long-term. I want to find good situations and exploit them.
too-late reason economy
I am doing my best to find it. I will find it before the public finds it. I will get out of it before it's too late. The reason I will do that is because that's what I'm paid to do.
eye things-in-life done
And, strangely, this one of the few things in life that the third, the latter, the buy with our eyes closed has actually done better than everybody else.
blessed able economy
I have never for a minute felt in was my stock picking abilities. I feel that my stock picking abilities aided- I was able to pick out which are the good stocks in the good market, but I have been blessed with a great market.
guy trends would-be
Well, he's just the same guy who in other aspects of his life would be very late to a trend.
