'I have an edge because a lot of people I compete with are not looking for reasons to buy.  They are looking for reasons not to buy.'

'How quickly investors flock to better-performing mutual funds, even though financial researchers have shown that the 'hot funds' in one time period very often turn out to be the poorest performers in another.'

'An investor's worst enemy is not the stock market but one's self' 
 
                                                                                                        - Benjamin Graham



'The investor, unlike the speculator, does not have to worry too much about the short term' 
 
                                                                                                        - John Train



'To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insight, or inside information.  What's needed is a sound intellectual framework for decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework.'
