FAVOURITE INVESTMENT ONE LINERS
I am considering making up a dosier of favourite investment one liners and will be interested in hearing any gems that you may have , attributed or anonymous
A few suggestions to kick it off ( not sure of the origins )
If you want to be a winner follow winners
If you want to be a loser follow losers
Never throw good money after bad
Time will tell (one of my favourites )
Treat investment tips extremely cautiously
Dont expect miracles overnight
To succeed you have to be smarter than the next fellow
Cut your losses and let your profits run
Nobody ever went broke making a profit (not too sure if literally correct , but has a message )
Never be too proud to take a loss and move on (probably the most common investment mistake )
These are just a few that come to mind
I am sure that there are hundreds of beauties out there that are much better than those that I have put up to start the ball rolling
Come on , put your thinking caps on and let us all know your favourites
Heres hoping that we all have a good year in 2005 --- personally I think it will be a bit tougher than 2004 though
Good investing
Time is the great revealer

When asked to give advice I've always loved the facetious: Buy Low, Sell High
More than happy to be stood corrected but I think the saying might actually be: Nobody ever went broke TAKING a profit...
Also love quotes from the expert of the moment explaining why today's fad will last forever!

Yes , the correct word is of course "taking "

Perhaps I should add to the list " never take advice from Mary Holm "
I gave up reading her column many moons ago
Some ripper quotes there , but they definitely will not be making my list --- they may make an all time worst advice ever list though !

Cheers and a prosperous 2005 to all

Yes , but which door ???
Front door , side door , back door or trap door ?
Maybe this is some sort of IPO language that is reserved for the knowledgable
A great quote though

Make sure the company is such that any idiot could successfully operate it... someday one probably will.
Bottom fishing is like trying to catch a falling knife.
Key to property investing success: location, location, location.
Key to trading success: money management, money management, money management.
Incidentally you most certainly -can- go broke taking a profit.
