Quote for the day

“Economics theory tried to imitate physics. Classical economists took Newton as their model — forgetting that Newton lost a fortune in the South Sea Bubble. The only way they could imitate physics was by eliminating reflexivity from their subject. Hence the assumption of perfect knowledge, which was later amended to perfect information.” -  George Soros

“It's difficult identifying someone who is a good trader versus someone who is a good analyst because the two don't always mesh. There are some people who are really good thinkers but can't make money and there are other people who aren't the greatest thinkers but who end up making tons of money trading.” -  Jim Leitner

Quote for the day

“To enjoy the advantages of a free market, one must have both buyers and sellers, both bulls and bears. A market without bears would be like a nation without a free press. There would be no one to criticize and restrain the false optimism that always leads to disaster.” -  Bernard Baruch
