The Best Trading Proverbs

[murray t turtle]

"There is right time and the wrong time to buy a stock, but understanding the difference requires some study. There is no such thing as being an OVERNIGHT success in the stock market, and success has nothing to do with listening to tips from other people or being LUCKY. You have to study and prepare yourself so that you can become successful on your own with your investing. So make yourself knowledgeable. It isn't easy at first, but it can be very rewarding. Anyone can learn to do it. You can do it. Believe in your ability to learn. Unlearn past assumptions that didn't work."

- William J. O'Neil
