Quotes of the Day

If it is bad news and the market shakes it off and rallies, this is a bullish reaction to the news, so buy it. It probably means that the market has already discounted the news. If good news comes out and your stock or commodity fails to rally, the high probability trade is to short it. It’s more important to see how the market reacts to the news than to know what the news is. [2003] - Marcel Link

Anyone who plans to add money to the markets for at least the next five years should prefer falling prices. When people invest consistent sums every month (dollar cost averaging) they can stockpile assets when they’re cheap. Experiencing huge losses early in the investment journey would have looked scary. But it would ultimately have boosted the returns. By adding the same amount of money every month, the consistent monthly purchases would have bought a greater number of stock market units when prices were low and fewer stock market units when prices went up. As a result, you would have paid a lower-than-average price over time. [2022] - Andrew Hallam

The way anyone cures themselves of shyness is through enthusiasm. If you're talking with someone, and you are enthusiastic about the topic under discussion, you will forget that you are shy, in your excitement.
