Dean LeBaron – The Ultimate Book of Investment Quotations

“He′s called a broker because after dealing with him you are.” Anon

The Ultimate Book of Investment Quotations contains the collected investment wisdom of Shakespeare, the Bible, Hollywood, Oprah Winfrey and thousands of others who have something to say about other people′s money. All investment is here, from the very richest people in the world, and the bulls and bullies of the eighties, to the sorry victims of panics and crashes.

This book, a companion to The Ultimate Investor by the same authors is a reference for all who value meaningful words applied not only to investing but also to everyday life. Naturally, it ties in with investing and particularly its companion book which is referred to in nearly every chapter. Some of the quotations may be familiar to most readers but when one looks at them in the context of investing wisely, they take on a different meaning. In reading this book, one is tempted to try to memorize some of the quotations which have particular relevance to the reader’s interests. This is a sign of value in what has been said which correspondingly makes the book valuable as well. Full credit goes to the authors for putting so many interesting and often witty quotations in a book which can and should be a reference for economists, investors, portfolio managers, investmen advisors and for that matter anyone who appreciates the influence of words on our daily lives. The persons quoted range from the ancient Greeks to the founders of America, to the humourists like Mark Twain, and poets like Ralph Waldo Emerson, to economists and to the modern day investment gurus like Warren Buffet, George Soros and Dean LeBaron. An important addition to any library.
