Most of the mutual fund investments I have are index funds, approximately 75%.

The nasty little secret was that I couldn't read worth a darn. In my case, I still read very slowly to this moment.

We are all salesmen every day of our lives. We are selling our ideas, our plans, our enthusiasms to those with whom we come in contact.

Kindness is more powerful than compulsion.

One can succeed at almost anything for which he has enthusiasm.

It's fun to play around... it's human nature to try to select the right horse... But for the average person, I'm more of an indexer... The predictability is so high... For 10, 15, 20 years you'll be in the 85th percentile of performance. Why would you screw it up?

At the end of every day, having a clientele that speaks well of you, that's the largest source of business. I don't care what kind of business you're in. Clients referring us to their friends or relatives is so much more powerful than any advertising we could ever do.
