Although its easy to forget sometimes, a share of a stock is not a lottery ticket. Its part ownership of a business.
Peter Lynch, legendary manager of The Magellan Fund
Speculation is an effort, probably unsuccessful, to turn a little money into a lot. Investment is an effort, which should be successful, to prevent a lot of money becoming a little.
Fred Schwed, author of Where are The Customers Yachts?
Its not whether youre right or wrong thats important, but how much money you make when youre right and how much you lose when youre wrong.
George Soros
People who look for easy money invariably pay for the privilege of proving that it cannot be found on this sordid earth.
Edwin Lefevre, author of Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
The market, like the Lord, helps those who help themselves. But, unlike the Lord, the market does not forgive those who know not what they do.
Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway
The list of qualities an investor ought to have include patience, self-reliance, common sense, a tolerance for pain, open-mindedness, detachment, persistence, humility, flexibility, a willingness to do independent research, an equal willingness to admit mistakes, and the ability to ignore general panic.
Peter Lynch
You dont need to be a rocket scientist. Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with the 130 IQ.
Warren Buffett
If no one ever took risks, Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor.
Neil Simon, playwright
October is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks. Other dangerous months are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August and February.
Mark Twain
The ultimate risk is not taking a risk.
Sir James Goldsmith
Its one of the ironies of investing. The rich can afford to take risks, but dont need to. The poor need to take risks, but often cant afford to.
Jonathan Clements
The best time to invest is when you have money. This is because history suggests it is not timing which matters, but time.
Sir John Templeton
The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.
Anon
Compound interest.
Albert Einsteins reply, when asked to name mans greatest invention
It is often said that the Indian who sold Manhattan Island in 1626 for $24 was rooked by the white man. In fact he may have been an extremely sharp salesman. Had he put his $24 away at 6 per cent interest, compounded semi-annually, it would now be worth more than $50 billion, and with it his descendants could buy back much of the now-improved land.
Burton Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street
Select stocks the way porcupines make love - very carefully.
Bob Dinda
There are more fools among buyers than among sellers.
French proverb
Never invest in any idea you cant illustrate with a crayon.
Peter Lynch
I dont try to jump over 7-foot bars. I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.
Warren Buffett
Playing the stock market is analogous to entering a newspaper beauty-judging contest in which one must select the six prettiest faces out of a hundred photographs, with the prize going to the person whose selections most nearly conform to those of the group as a whole.
John Maynard Keynes
John Maynard Keynes essentially said, dont try and figure out what the market is doing. Figure out a business you understand, and concentrate.
Warren Buffett
If you remember nothing else about P/E ratios, remember to avoid stocks with excessively high ones. A company with a high P/E must have incredible earnings growth to justify its high price.
Peter Lynch
Things are seldom what they seem. Skim milk masquerades as cream.
Gilbert and Sullivan, playwrights, verse from H.M.S. Pinafore
Id be a bum on the street with a tin cup if the markets were efficient... Investing in a market where people believe in efficiency is like playing bridge with someone who has been told it doesnt do any good to look at the cards.
Warren Buffett
I have noticed that everyone who ever told me that the markets are efficient is poor.
Larry Hite
The more the theory of efficient markets is believed, the less efficient the markets become.
George Soros
Draw a circle around the businesses you understand and then eliminate those that fail to qualify on the basis of value, good management and limited exposure to hard times.
Warren Buffett
I like buying companies that can be run by monkeys - because one day they will be.
Peter Lynch
In a difficult business, no sooner is one problem solved than another surfaces - never is there just one cockroach in the kitchen.
Warren Buffett
When management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for poor fundamentals, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.
Warren Buffett
If you can find a company that can get away with raising prices year after year without losing customers (an addictive product such as cigarettes fits the bill), youve got a terrific investment.
Peter Lynch
You go to bed feeling very comfortable just thinking about two and a half billion males with hair growing while you sleep. No one at Gillette has trouble sleeping.
Warren Buffett
but...
The FTSE 100 index is a collection of yesterdays success stories. It says nothing about tomorrow.
Guy Manson
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet.
Damon Runyon
If you gave me $100 billion and said take away the soft drink leadership of Coca-Cola in the world, Id give it back to you and say it cant be done.
Warren Buffett
Don't buy market leaders. Find a #7 company in an industry headed for the #3 spot because its recognition increases and its P/E expands. There's more money to be made in finding tomorrow's winners than in chasing yesterday's.
Foster Friess, CEO, Brandywine Funds
The best assurance of continued growth, and high profit margins, comes back to this: the company should have a special niche in the marketplace, so that sales dont depend on offering a commodity item at a lower price than the competitions. It should, to a degree, dominate that niche. The best company in a marginal industry is worth more than the third-best company in a major industry. Id rather own the shares of Hokuto, the leading mushroom grower in Japan, than of Mitsubishi Motor or Subaru.
Ralph Wanger, CEO, The Acorn Funds
Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs repainting.
Billy Rose, New York showman
I got positive feelings when I saw that Taco Bells headquarters was stuck behind a bowling alley. When I saw those executives operating out of that grim little bunker, I was thrilled. Obviously they werent wasting money on landscaping the office.
