Your ultimate success or failure will depend on your ability to ignore the worries of the world long enough to allow your investments to succeed.

You only need a few good stocks in your lifetime. I mean how many times do you need a stock to go up ten-fold to make a lot of money? Not a lot.

There is always something to worry about. Avoid weekend thinking and ignoring the latest dire predictions of the newscasters. Sell a stock because the company's fundamentals deteriorate, not because the sky is falling.

When you sell in desperation, you always sell cheap.

The basic story remains simple and never-ending. Stocks aren't lottery tickets. There's a company attached to every share.

You just don't know when you can find the bottom.

Although it's easy to forget sometimes, a share is not a lottery ticket... it's part-ownership of a business.
