Investing Wisdom from the Greats

I’ve always been a big fan of quotes and working at Cabot has given me some new (investing-themed) favorites.

Livermore, a trader famous for making and losing several million-dollar fortunes in his lifetime and whose life Edwin Lefevre wrote about in the investing must-read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.
