To beat the market you'll have to invest serious bucks to dig up information no one else has yet.

We've taken the view that if the rest of the world would democratize and create market economies that would spread the benefits of prosperity around the world and that it would enhance our own prosperity and our own stability and security as well.

I'm involved in the stock market which is fun and sometimes very painful.

We had a booming stock market in 1929 and then went into the world's greatest depression. We have a booming stock market in 1999. Will the bubble somehow burst and then we enter depression? Well some things are not different.

One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys another sells and both think they are astute.

If the markets had behaved badly that would obviously add to people's sense of alarm... but there has been a lot of reassurance coming particularly in the way the Brits handled all this. There seems to be no great fear that something like that is going to happen here.

You don't want too much fear in a market because people will be blinded to some very good buying opportunities. You don't want too much complacency because people will be blinded to some risk.

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

I know there are people if I go into a market or a city for the first time there are people that are there that just want to see the famous person or the guy from 'Dumb and Dumber' or whatever movie they liked. And that's fine it gets them in the door but then it's my job to give them something different.

Forget about being world famous it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.
