If you could put aside $205 at the beginning of each month for thirty- five years, with an 11% annualized return you may save over $1 million.
If you have stopped looking at your portfolio statements, does that mean your game plan is off?
If a fool and his money are easily separated, who introduced the two?
If buy and hold is your philosophy, why do you need a broker?
If a tree falls in the forest, does it ruin the stock market for the day?
If someone invented a computer program for investments that proved 100% correct all the time, we would never know about it.
If you think the market capitulated, you are not in a state of selling hysteria.
If 1,000,000 lemmings jump, can they all be wrong?

If you expect nothing of your portfolio, you will not be disappointed.
If you are a rational investor, can you benefit from an irrational market?
