"Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance"
It rained all day and it rained all night
so I danced all day and danced all night,
I drank all day and drank all night long,
then sang all day and sang all night long.
I timed my visit, avoided the rain,
danced a while and went on home,
predicted her thoughts, yes all night long
and the following day sang a song.
Note the correction in the verse
the outcome was not rehearsed,
sold my thoughts, lost my thread
market collapsed, now I'm dead.
Good night, dead - noirua

Hi 2020, I think the Baron forgot to mention that he stayed in cash during the 1929-32 crash. Then bought Coal stocks at prices about 5% of their 1928 peaks in the UK. Sold out in the market after the British Labour Government nationalised them. They reduced the nationalised price before the bid was completed, but the crafty old Baron Rothschild had already sold and made his fortune.
I guess he mean't that he sold in 1928 well below the 1929 peak.
Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?

Then it doesn't matter which way you go, said the Cat.”
Lewis Carroll quotes
The happiness of those who want to be popular depends on others; the happiness of those who seek pleasure flutuates with moods outside their control; but the happiness of the wise grows out of their own free acts

The Tao of W Buffett
You can't make a good deal with a bad person.
It's easier to stay out of trouble than it is to get out of trouble.
The market, like the Lord, helps those who help themselves. But unlike the Lord, the market does not forgive those who know not what they do.
My idea of a group decision is to look in the mirror.
The reaction of weak management to weak operations is often weak accounting.
You can always juice sales by going down-market, but it's hard to go back upmarket.
You have to think for yourself. It always amazes me how high-IQ people mindlessly imitate. I never get good ideas talking to other people.
In looking for someone to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. But the most important is integrity because if they don't have that, the other two qualities, intelligence and energy, are going to kill you.
Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.
A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.
If you let yourself be undisciplined on the small things, you will probably be undisciplined on the large things as well.
The fact that people are full of greed, fear, or folly is predictable. The sequence is not predictable.
We also believe candor benefits us as managers. The CEO who misleads others in public may eventually mislead himself in private.
What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history.

My mentor oft said, "If I knew where I was going to fall, I would have put a haybale there!".
I don't have a clue who to attribute that to!

"Don't put more money into shares than you can afford to lose."
that's a corollary to "There can be no certainty in securities."
"We're here for a good time, not a long time."

The old Rene Rivkin saying - no one ever went broke selling at a profit.
Don't let your purchase price be an anchor point.
Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful - Warren Buffett (oh so very hard to do)
Compound interest is the most powerful force on earth. Einstein
The safe way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket.

This may not seem like an investment quote at first or maybe even second. But if you think about it more it points to putting in the hours finding out more and more about investing and making us fitter and more capable when the day comes and you are in the ring putting your hard won cash on a share you think will be a worthy investment.
