I found this in a blog and its some of the best advice I have ever seen... "My advice to investors is to be very weary of stocks being pumped through the internet on message boards, blogs and emails, or even through telephone calls asking would you like to invest in a stock that is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Investors should always take a very close look at a company, its financials and its future prospects before investing. However, the spam messages and articles that are written to pump stocks arenât always garbage. I myself have found some good shorting opportunities because of them, and maybe once in a blue moon you actually have a good stock being recommended."
"And if CNBC has 90% of the investing publics attention and only 10% of the people in the country hold all the wealth why would you take your info from a station owned by the 10% to get advice in that same 10% stock markets for which they are the counter party. That just wouldn't be very smart."
"A wealthy character I once knew reports he invested 90% of his earnings on hookers and booze and pissed the other 10% away."
Last but not least the funniest quote came right here on ET: I love it.

Admitting to any loss > $100 is punishable in a most severe manner. That's why you almost never see anyone admit to any kind of net loss. Say you lost 10k trading XYZ, but found 11k in a brown bag when you went outside to puke. See, your net is +1k then and you're ok.
There are a number of 'quotes' websites. I like thinkexist. A person could spend serious time there. There are a number of words that one could use to search that ET posters might try: I have included links below to get those interested started: http://en.thinkexist.com/quotations/success/ http://en.thinkexist.com/quotations/failure/ http://en.thinkexist.com/quotes/with/keyword/winner/ http://en.thinkexist.com/quotes/with/keyword/loser/ ===================================== Popular song lyrics should not be forgotten when it comes to quotes as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm sick of all this emptiness I've chosen for a life. Without no direction, it's a never-ending strife. It seemed so perfect as I planted fertile seeds. But in this barren soil I've lost my basic needs.
