The markets, Severus .. after all this time?

Always!

The markets are fundamentally volatile. Your problem is not the maths. No matter what maths you use, you will end up measuring volatility with your gut.

~ Ed Seykota

If you diversify, control your risk, and go with the trend, it just has to work.

~ Larry Hite

I have noticed that everyone who has ever tried to tell me that markets are efficient is poor.

~ Larry Hite

The markets are like a weather; you may not like it but you have to bear it.

~ Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

Wide diversification is only required by investors who do not understand what they are doing

~ Warren Buffet

If you cannot take a small loss, sooner or later you will have to take the mother of all losses

~ Ed Seykota

Prepare for losses. Losses are a part and parcel of a stock market investor’s life.

~ Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

The big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting.

~ Charlie Munger
