A mutual fund can do for you what you would do for yourself if you had sufficient time, training, and money to diversify, plus the temperament to stand back from your money and make rational decisions.

You would be surprised how many people are in the market not to make money but for the thrill of it!

The money game is not like any other game. You cannot choose whether you'll play, for the money game is the only game in town.

There is no such thing as a future decision. There are only present decisions that affect the future.

Rid yourself of the old myth, if it has been plaguing you, that money is not important. It is important - vitally important! It is just as important as the food it buys, the shelter it provides, the doctor bills it pays, and the education it helps to procure.

You'll find that there will be an investment for every season, but there will be no investment for all seasons.

It has been said that if you aim at nothing in life, you are likely to hit nothing! I have never had anyone come to me and say, 'Venita, I plan to fail.' Yet I have observed many who failed to plan and who unfortunately met with the same dismal results.
