The herd instinct is the strongest emotion especially dangerous in investing.
When making investment decisions your emotions are often a reverse indicator of what you ought to be doing.
When everyone rushes to one side of the boat, head to the other side to avoid getting soaked.
Be sure to put your feet in the right place, and then stand firm against a hostile wind.
Abraham Lincoln
The secret of making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them.
Peter Lynch
The intelligent investor is likely to need considerable will power to keep from following the crowd.
Benjamin Graham
Volatility signals fear, and fear leads to bad decisions.
Michael Mach
When the market’s going down, it is not because you are stupid. And when it is going up, it’s not because you are smart.
Ralph Wanger
Paralysis by analysis: a common illness suffered from the nonstop barrage of financial articles and gurus that cause a person to lay still and take no action.
The stock market is like a voting machine, polling investors on the future, not the present.
An investor should be a judge, objective and unattached. Otherwise he loses the greatest advantage in investing – freedom to act.
