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.

What makes stocks valuable in the long run isn't the market. It's the profitability of the shares in the companies you own. As corporate profits increase, corporations become more valuable and sooner or later, their shares will sell for a higher price.

In the long run, it's not just how much money you make that will determine your future prosperity. It's how much of that money you put to work by saving it and investing it.

As I look back on it now, it's obvious that studying history and philosophy was much better preparation for the stock market than, say, studying statistics.

Invest in businesses any idiot could run, because someday one will.

Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it.

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