 Topic: Top Investing quotes! Posted: 15/Mar/2007 at 9:53pm |
The best assurance of continued growth, and high profit margins, comes back to this: the company should have a special niche in the marketplace, so that sales don't depend on offering a commodity item at a lower price than the competition's. It should, to a degree, dominate that niche. The best company in a marginal industry is worth more than the third-best company in a major industry. I'd rather own the shares of Hokuto, the leading mushroom grower in Japan, than of Mitsubishi Motor or Subaru."

"Bear markets happen for a simple reason. The owners of the merchandise can't get their asking price. The shortage of buyers forces them to lower the fare, until a buyer can be coaxed into making a deal. It's a common occurrence in retail. Stores have a bear market after every Christmas rush."
John Rothchild

Nobody can predict interest rates, the future direction of the economy, or
the stock market. Dismiss all such forecasts and concentrate on what is actually happening to the companies in which you have invested.
Peter Lynch.

The single most comforting factor in holding a stock - is to see the price go up and that could also be the most deceptive one because it says that the stock is losing value.---Anonymous

"When ten people would rather talk to a dentist about plaque than to the manager of an equity mutual fund about stocks, it's likely that the market is about to turn up. When the neighbours tell me what to buy and then I wish I had taken their advice, it's a sure sign that the market has reached a top and is due for a tumble."
Peter Lynch, on his 'Cocktail Party' theory of market forecasting
