'Experience has proved to me that real money made in speculating has been in commitments in a stock or commodity showing a profit right from the start.'

'When this happens I sell the stock short that is, technically. In other words, I sell more stock than I actually hold.'

'It is literally true that millions come easier to a trader after he knows how to trade, than hundreds did in the days of his ignorance.'

'When I buy stocks for a rise I like to pay top prices and when I sell I must sell low or not at all.'

'It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!'

'If my stock does not act as I anticipated, I immediately determine that the time is not yet ripe - so I close out my commitment.'

If you spend more than 14 minutes a year worrying about the market, you've wasted 12 minutes.
