Quote for the day

“When you're on a big winning streak, there's a temptation to think that you're doing something special, which will allow you to continue to propel yourself upward. You start to think that you can afford to make shoddy decisions. You can imagine what happens next. As a general rule, losses make you strong and profits make you weak.” - William Eckhardt

Quote for the day

“Another item I would place under the category of misconceptions is the way the media reports the reasons for the market being down. They are always saying the market is down because of profit taking. I think it would be wonderful if everybody was always taking profits. But, the truth is, most people lose money, and the reason markets go down is because they take their losses.” - Mark Weinstein
