"It would seem the difference between investment and speculation is not very clear in the minds of most market participants. At market extremes - after prolonged bullish advances or bearish retreats - the confusion between investment and speculation appears to be universal. . . We have no idea what will happen to the market. . . What is certain, however, is that market participants need to be reminded of Graham's investment / speculation distinction; confusion over the concepts is as widespread as it has ever been." - Dennis Butler

Quote for the day
“The essential element is having a core philosophy. Without a core philosophy you're not going to be able to hold on to your positions or stick with your trading plan during really difficult times. You must fully understand, strongly believe in, and be totally committed to your trading philosophy.” - Richard Driehaus
