Investment

In general, to invest is to allocate money (or sometimes another resource, such as time) in the expectation of some benefit in the future – for example, investment in durable goods, in real estate by the service industry, in factories for manufacturing, in product development, and in research and development. However, this article focuses specifically on investment in financial assets.

Investment

To achieve satisfactory investment results is easier than most people realize; to achieve superior results is harder than it looks.

Benjamin Graham (1973) The Intelligent Investor Chapter 20, "Margin of Safety": The Central Concept, p. 287.

Banking

There is no group of people on the planet more stupid than bankers. They should be called bonkers. Look at the famous banks that are suddenly losing billions, because they handed out loans like lunatics.

Michael Winner, English film director and producer. From his interview in The Daily Mail (UK) newspaper, 17th June 2008.

Investment

Economic life should be definancialised. We should learn not to use markets as storehouses of value: they do not harbour the certainties that normal citizens require. Citizens should experience anxiety about their own businesses (which they control), not their investments (which they do not control).

Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2009) Ten principles for a Black Swan-proof world.
