I think my securities far outweigh my insecurities. I am not nearly as afraid of myself and my imagination as I used to be.

The stock market to me was like a video game. When it went off, it was like turning the game off. It wasn't something I'd think about until I'd turn the machine on again.

I was about thirteen when I started thinking about the stock market. My dad helped me a little bit. I'd see it in the 'Santa Barbara News-Press.' These prices would change every day - what was that all about?

I've always done what I thought was good if I could live on what they were offering-and sometimes if I couldn't. So even when I was broke, my career didn't lack for interest.

I don't think that's changed at all. I think there are a thousand stocks out there that could make you rich, totally independent of what you do for a living.

The people that were invested in me staying the same way after a decade will most likely by default have to be disappointed.

My research interests since then have shifted strongly towards the economic and regulatory problems of the financial services industry, and especially of the securities and options exchanges.

Fortune is like the market, where, many times, if you can stay a little, the price will fall.

I've found that when the market's going down and you buy funds wisely, at some point in the future you will be happy.
