You have to keep your priorities straight, if you plan to do well in stocks. - Peter Lynch

To me, an investment is simply a gamble in which you’ve managed to tilt the odds in your favor.

When you sell in desperation, you always sell cheap.

Corporate profits will be a lot higher 10 years from now. They'll be a lot higher 20 years from now. That's what you can rely on. Microsoft didn't exist 20 years ago. Staples didn't exist 20 years ago—Federal Express didn't exist 20 years ago. New companies will come along. That's what makes stocks go up.
