I am against market fundamentalism. I think this propaganda that government involvement is always bad has been very successful - but also very harmful to our society.

I very often used to get backaches due to the fact that I was wrong. Whenever you are wrong you have to fight or [take] flight. When [I] make the decision, the backache goes away.

I'm only rich because I know when I'm wrong...I basically have survived by recognizing my mistakes.

I'm not better than the next trader, just quicker at admitting my mistakes and moving on to the next opportunity.

Unfortunately, the more complex the system, the greater the room for error.

President George W. Bush is endangering the United States and the world's safety while undermining American values.

I put forward a pretty general theory that financial markets are intrinsically unstable. That we really have a false picture when we think about markets tending towards equilibrium.
