I haven't changed any of my investments since I've been in the Senate and haven't purchased any stocks since I've been in the Senate.

If owning stocks is a long-term project for you, following their changes constantly is a very, very bad idea. It's the worst possible thing you can do, because people are so sensitive to short-term losses. If you count your money every day, you'll be miserable.

I called my business manager in California and said, 'Sell all of my stock' - what little of it I had - and it's the only smart financial move I ever made.

My happiness is not dictated on this business. Once I realized that, everything kind of changed.

I put less stock in others' opinions than my own. No one else's opinions could derail me.

A lot of what I do is running businesses rather than buying stocks. My worst decision is probably when I know I have the wrong chief executive running the business, and I keep on waiting to make the difficult decision of replacing him.

Companies, like people, don't much like to change.

I used to trade stocks online, and I kind of felt gross, like, all I'm doing is making money off other people's creativity, and I'm not creating anything myself.

The thing is, I haven't changed at all.
