management likely to behave?”

average record. It wasn’t hyperactivity, but a hell of a lot of
patience. You stuck to your principles and when opportunities came
along, you pounced on them with vigor.”
Jim Cramer (Net Worth $100 Million) -
“As long as you enjoy investing, you’ll be willing to do the homework
and stay in the game. That’s why I try to make the show so entertaining,
because if you aren’t interested, you’ll either miss the opportunity to
make money in the market or not pay enough attention and end up losing
your shirt.”
Michael Milken (Net Worth $2.1 Billion)

deal of wealth haven’t had that as their goal at all. Wealth is only a
by-product, not the original
motivation.”

economy could completely screw it up. The key is to wait. Sometimes the
hardest thing to do is to do nothing.”
Benjamin Graham – R.I.P (Net Worth Unknown)
– “The individual investor should act consistently as an investor and
not as a speculator. This means that he should be able to justify every
purchase he makes and each price he pays by impersonal, objective
reasoning that satisfies him that he is getting more than his money’s
worth for his purchase.”
Louis Bacon (Net Worth $1.4 Billion) – “As a speculator you must embrace disorder and chaos.”
Paul Tudor Jones (Net Worth $3.2 Billion) -
“Were you want to be is always in control, never wishing, always
trading, and always, first and foremost protecting your butt. After a
while size means nothing. It gets back to whether you’re making 100%
rate of return on $10,000 or $100 million dollars. It doesn’t make any
difference.”
Peter Thiel (Net Worth $1.5 Billion)
– “Value investors look at cash flows. If a company can maintain
present cash flows for 5 or 6 years, it’s a good investment. Investors
then just hope that those cash flows—and thus the company’s value—don’t
decrease faster than they anticipate.”
Bruce Kovner (Net Worth $4.3 Billion) -
” My experience with novice traders is that they trade three to five
times too big. They are taking 5 to 10 percent risks on a trade when
they should be taking 1 to 2 percent risks. The emotional burden of
trading is substantial; on any given day, I could lose millions of
dollars. If you personalize these losses, you can’t trade.”
Rene Rivkin (Net Worth $346 Million) - “When buying shares, ask yourself, would you buy the whole company?”
Peter Lynch (Net Worth $352 Million)
– “I think you have to learn that there’s a company behind every stock,
and that there’s only one real reason why stocks go up. Companies go
from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large
companies.”
John Templeton (Net Worth $20 Billion)- “The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell.”
John (Jack) Bogle (Net Worth $4 Billion) - “If you have trouble imagining a 20% loss in the stock market, you shouldn’t be in stocks.”
