Imagine if you borrowed your parents' car without permission and ran it into a tree, how much better you'd feel if you were incorporated.

I think you have to learn that there's a company behind every stock, and that there's only one real reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.

The stock market really isn't a gamble, as long as you pick good companies that you think will do well, and not just because of the stock price.

The worst thing you can do is invest in companies you know nothing about. Unfortunately, buying stocks on ignorance is still a popular American pastime.

Owning stocks is like having children - don't get involved with more than you can handle.

The extravagance of any corporate office is directly proportional to management's reluctance to reward the shareholders.

If you're lucky enough to have been rewarded in life to the degree that I have, there comes a point at which you have to decide whether to become a slave to your net worth by devoting the rest of your life to increasing it or to let what you've accumulated begin to serve you.
