I have learned two things about the press and wives. When they say something – don’t react.
Markets are like women — always commanding, mysterious, unpredictable, and volatile.
Anticipate trends and benefit from it. Traders should go against human nature.
Successful investors are opportunistic and optimistic ones.
Respect the market. Have an open mind.
Know what to take, Know when to take a loss. Be responsible.
Emotional investment is a sure way to make a loss in stock markets.
If in doubt, listen to your heart.
Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Aspire, but never envy.
Be paranoid of success — never take it for granted.
Realize success can be temporary and transient.
Build a fighting spirit — take the bad with the good.
Have some cash in hand so that you can grab the opportunity when it occurs.
Blindly following stock picks by big investors is not a wise thing to do.
Give your investments time to mature. Be Patient for the World to discover your gems.
Never get carried away by aberrations, recognize and respect them but do remember that the market corrects its aberration though it takes time.
Never in my life have I not made an investment because the stock is not popular. In fact, I like to make the investment when the stock is not popular.
Like wives, markets are always right. With wives, you can argue but with markets, you can’t.
You know, trading always keeps you on your feet, it keeps you alert. That’s one of the reasons why I like to trade.
The first thing I’ve learnt is that markets work. They are the best mechanism to build societies.
