What's your favorite trading quote of all time?

Quote from Tech Analysis:

"I'm more concerned with the return OF my capital than a return ON my capital."

- Mark Seleznov

With all due respect to Mr. Trendtrader, Mark...this quote is attributed to Mark Twain (or maybe Will Rogers, I just know it's older than Mark, LOL), FWIW.

Great quote no matter what!!

"this is a game about beating the guy thats already beating himself." - ??

"if you cant buy weakness and sell strength, then you cant trade." - charles stahl
 
Thanks for the clarification, Don!

I remember Mark (Seleznov, not Twain :D ) saying it at a seminar a few years back. It seemed poignant.


I wonder if Twain was a trader :p
 
Market context is the integration of the trend, price action, price pattern studies and support/resistance. Trend is the primary and overrides all other particulars - Toby Crabel
 
"Live Today, Fight Tomorrow"

This quote has done wonders for me. But lately, Ive been ignoring this quote which will ultimately result in my demise...
 
And another one from Warren Buffett, which is very appropriate for this thread:

“Let blockheads read what blockheads write.”
