Most of the time common stocks are subject to irrational and excessive price fluctuations in both directions as the consequence of the ingrained tendency of most people to speculate or gamble... to give way to hope, fear and greed.

The real key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them.

I like the sudden shock of non-sequitur color. Color, in fact, is my weakness.

I simply can't buy as much of some stocks such as Detection Systems or United Education & Software as I'd like because there just aren't all that many shares available.

There is a large stock on hand; but somehow or other, nobody's experience ever suits us but our own.

I think that stocks have been this tremendous, tremendous equalizer for people in this country. Guys who can't make a lot of money at their jobs have been able to make a lot of money in the stock market.

I will never be in the stock market. It's just gambling. I'm a gambler, but I'll gamble on the practicality of things.

One of the very nice things about investing in the stock market is that you learn about all different aspects of the economy. It's your window into a very large world.
