Never take advice from anyone in a tie. They'll bankrupt you. Don't ask a general for advice on war, and don't ask a broker for advice on money.

To bankrupt a fool, give him information.

Never think that lack of variability is stability. Don't confuse lack of volatility with stability, ever.

Never, never, never think - that's one lesson you should have in life. Never think that lack of variability is stability.
