You have to keep your priorities straight if you plan to do well in stocks.

If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

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

Most investors would be better off in an index fund.

The biggest winners are surprises to me, and takeovers are even more surprising. It takes years, not months, to produce big results.

People who want to know how stocks fared on any given day ask, "Where did the Dow close?" I'm more interested in how many stocks went up versus how many went down. These so-called advance/decline numbers paint a more realistic picture.

You should not buy a stock because it's cheap but because you know a lot about it.
