Some words of wisdom for febrile times

​Great investors have seen many bad markets. And they learned from them:
In certain years you’ll make your 30 percent, but there will be other years when you’ll only make 2 percent, or perhaps you’ll lose 20  That’s part of the scheme of things, and you have to accept it….If you expect to make 30 percent year after year, you’re more likely to get frustrated at stocks for defying you, and your impatience may cause you to abandon your investments at precisely the wrong moment.  Or worse, you may take unnecessary risks in the pursuit of illusory payoffs.  It’s only by sticking to a strategy through good and bad years that you’ll maximize your long-term gains
Peter Lynch
There are 60,000 economists in the U.S., many of them employed full-time trying to forecast recessions and interest rates, and if they could do it successfully twice in a row, they’d all be millionaires by now....As some perceptive person once said, if all the economists of the world were laid end to end, it wouldn’t be a bad thing
Peter Lynch
Any individual stock does not rise or fall at any particular moment in time because of what is actually happening or will happen to that company.  It rises or falls according to the current consensus of the financial community as to what is happening and will happen regardless of how far off this consensus may be from what is really occurring or will occur.
Philip Fisher
There’s no way you can live an adequate life

    I'm a full-time investor running my portfolio from peaceful Leicestershire countryside. I also happen to be UK´s best selling investment book author and a Financial Times Best selling author.

    Originally, I wrote all my ideas out in full on this website. Now that ADVFN publish them they are entitled to display the full version for six months – you can see them here. Thus can I only post the first few paragraphs here for anything younger than six months.

    I write 2 to 3 newsletters per week - investing is about making the right decisions, not many decisions.

In the short-run, the market is a voting machine – reflecting a voter-registration test that requires only money, not intelligence or emotional stability – but in the long-run, the market is a weighing machine.  Benjamin Graham
