Quote for the day
"Trading is not investing. The difference is critical and involves much more than the duration of each stock position. Investing is a bet that a company or industry will improve its profitability or market share over time. Trading is a bet the stock will rise or fall in the next ten minutes or hour. Investments can lead to real gains for all shareholders as the market rises, while trades require someone to lose a dollar for every dollar you gain."

Quote for the day
"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

“Wall Street research reports are more sales documents than disinterested analyses... the tendency is for analysts to play up the good and sugar-coat the bad.” - Jeffrey Laderman
