Here, we’ve compiled a list of the best Stock Quotes from famous authors such as Vinnie Jones, Josh Brolin, Howard Keel, Mellody Hobson, Kelly Evans. Let’s look at these pieces of wisdom. We definitely have something to learn from them!
1
People say, ‘I love ‘Snatch,’ I love ‘Lock Stock,’ but I want to be more than a movie name. I’d love to be more of a household name.
2
I used to go to Vegas and play the horses, and then I realised how ridiculous that was. There is no winning in gambling, but there is on the stock market.
3
It was a fine cast and lots of fun to make, but they did the damn thing on the cheap. The backdrops had holes in them, and it was shot on the worst film stock.
4
I’d like to see great textbooks, great opportunities for kids to really understand stock market investing, because at the end of the day, they are going to be all they have in terms of creating a life for themselves, a retirement account, and things like that.
5
Britain’s FTSE 100 stock index has not just recovered from its post-vote low close below 6,000. It has surged to close at nearly 6,600. That’s its highest closing value yet of 2016, and within reach of its all-time highs.
6
I’m very much interested in getting prisons off the stock market. I’m very much interested in upgrading the public school system… and taking a second look at capital punishment.
7
When you get to be nearly 60, you do take stock. You don’t know what’s around the corner.
8
That ‘who’s the sexiest’ business is a crock that the media cooked up to sell magazines, so while I say thank you very much, I don’t put much stock in it.
9
A lot of the kids we have coming up through our ranks now have been in stock cars since they were 12 or 13 years old. It’s much different. I think you have to pick a path. If you want to race open-wheel cars and do those things, it’s probably going to be carts and into an open-wheel series.
10
I was asked to do an ad campaign for a supermarket once. I was baffled. It’s strange when you realise your popularity or reputation is a marketable commodity; it’s a stock, a currency.
11
I am probably not alone in sensing above me the huge corporations and monstrous banks, science, politics and technologies, spy satellites and stock markets, military systems and massive wealth – forces and dynamics I don’t understand or can hardly imagine.
12
I did get to hang out with my dad for a little while. I went with him to summer stock. I watched him be a real king of the world. He’d ship out as a star in summer stock. He sometimes directed the shows. I learned a lot from him – not just about acting, but about everything, how to handle a woman.
13
Common hedging techniques include shorting stocks, buying put options, writing call options, and various types of leverage and paired transactions. While I do reserve the right to use these tools if and when appropriate, my firm opinion is that the best hedge is buying an appropriately safe and cheap stock.
14
We gathered all the stock we could find, and made an attempt to move. We left many of our horses and cattle in Wallowa. We lost several hundred in crossing the river.
15
I’ve been going to Bicester Village since I was young. My mum and dad really loved that place, and I always used to stock up on clothes. I love the fact that it supports great British designers.
16
Local teenagers killed in a car crash is a suburban legend, a stock plot line.
17
If you look at the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on ‘Titanic,’ you ask yourself, why on earth would they turn to stock footage? The answer is simple, many scenes used for the narrative of the film don’t need to be expensively shot and can be bought from us.
18
I always have homemade chicken stock in the refrigerator. I’ll reduce it, maybe add a little cream and a few shallots. Before you know it, eureka! It’s the best.
19
A default on our debts as a result of not meeting our obligations would be a disaster for the stock market, and Americans would see their retirement funds shrivel up.
20
I have kind of a weird technique with zucchini. I cut it into small cubes; sweat it in olive oil, adding just a little oil at time so it crisps. Then I cover it with boiling water, not stock, which really brings out the flavor of the zucchini, add lemon, thyme, and serve it with burrata and a fried zucchini flower.
21
Robinhood exists so that everyone can share in the stock market’s wealth creation.
22
If we can figure out how to give more Americans a shot in tech, a shot at the ordinary jobs that don’t necessarily afford rock star status or come with generous stock options but that can sustain middle-class life, then we might just take a step toward stitching our nation back together.
23
All my fighters know I’m a fan of theirs. They know I think of them as the stars and that we will facilitate in the building of their stock.
24
I could never gamble on stocks and shares because I saw my father get hurt that way – he lost quite a lot of money when the stock market collapsed in 2001.
25
The stock market to me was like a video game. When it went off, it was like turning the game off. It wasn’t something I’d think about until I’d turn the machine on again.
26
Taking stock of what you own, when done correctly and thoroughly, helps dampen the urge to shop frivolously.
27
Not everyone has the means to race stock cars – we know that – but VR technology can recreate the experience right at home.
28
The stock prices of networking equipment companies like Cisco Systems and Nortel Networks sometimes seem as if they are priced for perpetual success.
29
Unlike other professions – doctor, lawyer, teacher, journalist, sales clerk, stock broker – when a cop makes a bad mistake, it could mean someone is dead. They take home mental baggage unlike anything carried in almost every other job.
30
China frequently confounds stock market prognosticators because it has a penchant for straying markedly from other broad global indexes year-by-year over the decades – even from emerging markets. It’s hit or miss.
31
Ranchers need clean water for their stock, farmers need it for their crops, every employer needs it to stay in business, and every living thing needs it for life… The law needs to be clear to protect water quality and the rights of landowners.
32
We invite American companies looking to raise capital to list on the Bahrain Stock Exchange. The region has a liquidity oversupply approximating $1 trillion and this pool of capital can be tapped into by creative American companies. The next Facebook may very well get funded on the BSE.
33
I think most CEOs think their stock is undervalued, probably.
34
Government pensions, built into law and mostly protected from stock market vagaries, are the envy of the private sector.
35
If I’m a commodity, it wouldn’t be a wise idea to buy stock in me – although, in the long run, maybe I’m a slow growth investment.
36
What an economy really wants, after all, is not more investment per se but better investment. It wants capital to flow to companies that will create value – not in the form of a rising stock price but in the form of more goods for less cost, more jobs, and rising wages – by enhancing productivity.
37
I have met vegetable growers who offer seasonal produce grown for taste rather than the ability to survive weeks in cold storage; meat producers who rear fantastic rare-breed pork, lamb and beef; and delis that stock local produce that will never find its way into supermarkets because it is not made in bulk.
38
I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.
39
I started out in summer stock, and that’s really what I prefer.
40
I love being at home, being with friends and family. I’m of European stock, brought up in Australia. I’m a passionate guy. I just love life.
41
Individual participation in the stock market through 401(k)s helped fuel the go-go days of Wall Street in the 1980s and birthed asset management juggernauts like Fidelity, Vanguard, Pimco, BlackRock, and dozens of others.
42
I don’t trust most journalists who belong to Anglo Saxon stock because we know what your inclinations are.
43
I used to watch movies – silent movies – and stock companies and theater whenever I could.
44
I was with the Jessie Bonstelle Stock Company in Detroit and Buffalo for three seasons – 10 performances and a new play every week. She was an amazing woman who did a great deal for me.
45
Because of the love affair between the American public and the stock market, it is possible for entrepreneurs, technological visionaries and inventors of every sort to get financing.
46
Pop managers are fixed in the dramatic stock character repertoire too, ever since the first British pop film musical, Wolf Mankowitz’s ‘Expresso Bongo’ of 1959, with Cliff Richard as Bongo Herbert and Laurence Harvey as his manager. The key components were cast as X parts gay, X parts Jewish and triple X opportunistic.
47
The guy that just arranges things so that the stock market holds up is nobody in my – in my estimation.
48
I eat fish and love bacon. Plus, I don’t mind if soups are made with chicken or beef stock, I just don’t like eating big pieces of meat.
49
Fifty years ago wealth was stored and transmitted physically through gold bars, stock certificates, bank notes, and coins.
50
If the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies were private companies and were chronically unable to accomplish one of their key missions, their shareholders would have long ago revolted, fired their management, and their stock would be trading at values near zero.
51
Banks and investors don’t usually view a high-ranking executive in the company selling off massive amounts of stock as a good thing.
52
At any moment, one company stands in the spotlight of the middle ring in the stock market’s never-ending circus. It may not be the biggest corporation in the world, or the most profitable, but somehow it both mirrors and leads the market’s broader action.
53
I had already played a lead on Broadway before I ever did a film. I had had three, four seasons of stock with good, fat parts, good supporting and leading parts. And I had done, oh, God, over 400 live TV shows.
54
I’m dubious about having Social Security put into the stock market. I think that we have gotten very far away from the idea that there’s something sacrosanct about retirement investments.
55
I believe, in the stock market – that’s one of my fields – that most people are irrational. And to be irrational, you can be irrational in so many different ways that, practically, the result is indeterminate.
56
I don’t think they like the idea that the people who are buying the record get to choose what goes out, because it’s their job. The fans even pre-ordered stock to make sure that I had some sort of presence.
57
When Trump was a candidate, he talked about the stock market, because, oh, the stock market was going up when Obama was president.
58
I come from good stock. Both of my parents are big – my dad is a big guy; my mom is a big lady.

I think Calcutta is that kind of a market that if you are a Delhi or a Bombay designer, they feel they are being shortchanged and given stock that isn’t fresh.
62
The details of the personal expenses that executives put on the company tab often are not known because loopholes in federal disclosure rules let publicly traded companies generally avoid disclosing the perks they give executives along with pay and stock options.
63
The collective unconscious consists of the sum of the instincts and their correlates, the archetypes. Just as everybody possesses instincts, so he also possesses a stock of archetypal images.
64
I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.
65
Movies, to a large extent, stand or fall on the strength of their scripts. But a documentary is a collection of found objects: fragments you’ve collected, accidents of interview and happenstance, pieces of stock footage that surface in the course of six to nine months of research and production.
66
I used to have about a hundred suits in my late twenties and early thirties when my stock was riding high and I was rich.
67
I’m a strong believer in Intel’s stock. That’s a large amount of my net worth, and I’m passionate about Intel’s future.
68
With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.
69
I’ve learned that things change. The whole boy band thing almost turned into a stock market crash.
70
Alas, in 1929 came the Stock Market crash and everything changed and became worrisome. People started practicing conservatism because of financial losses, myself included.
71
Before I proposed to my now-wife, I was understandably nervous. My father suggested that I take stock of all of my experiences and relationships with women, from my earliest memories to present day, and see if I had learned anything that might inform my decision.
72
One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells, and both think they are astute.
73
I did a bunch of blue-collar jobs, because I knew I’d wind up with a white-collar job at some point, and I wanted to, I don’t know, I just wanted to taste life. I dug graves for a while, I worked as a stock boy in a big department store, I worked in a bank.
74
It is no surprise that companies do not often respond to moral pressure alone. We need to hit them hard in their pocketbook and on their balance sheet. We need to show them that their stock prices will be affected if their actions encourage Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions.
75
In the 1920s, Wall Street was a world that was really dominated by professional speculators and stock pools. These people had a monopoly over information.
76
Some calamities – the 1929 stock market crash, Pearl Harbor, 9/11 – have come like summer lightning, as bolts from the blue. The looming crisis of America’s Ponzi entitlement structure is different. Driven by the demographics of an aging population, its causes, timing and scope are known.
77
But if you look at WorldCom, which is the biggest failure to date, they grew dramatically, they were buying companies that were bigger than they were and they were doing it off inflated stock.
78
Over the long run, the price of gold approximates the total amount of money in circulation divided by the size of the gold stock. If the market price of gold moves a long way from this level, it may indicate a buying or selling opportunity.
79
The stock market is an exploitable market where being right means you get rich and you help the overall system error-correct which makes it harder to be right (the mechanism pushes prices close to random, they’re not quite random but few can exploit the non-randomness).
80
From coast to coast, the FBI and Securities and Exchange Commission have ensnared people not only at hedge funds, but at technology and pharmaceutical companies, consulting and law firms, government agencies, and even a major stock exchange.
81
Visit any bookshop in Europe, and the shelves are filled with English novels and non-fiction books in translation – while British bookshops stock mainly English and American works.
82

83
The genius of the French language, descended from its single Latin stock, has triumphed most in the contrary direction – in simplicity, in unity, in clarity, and in restraint.
84
Without sulfites, wine may smell and taste funky or re-ferment in the bottle. Many distributors and shop owners are consequently reluctant to stock wines made without sulfites.
85
When valuation confidence falls, it means that stock markets are perceived as overpriced.
86
There’s something we calculate called an alpha, and that’s the stock’s return that’s independent, uncorrelated to the market. And the only way you really get a high alpha is for something to zig when the market zags.
87
When then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer sued me in 2003 over my stewardship as a director of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE’s legal expenses were more than $100 million, which made it perhaps the priciest litigation in the state’s history.
88
A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.
89
I have never for a minute felt in was my stock picking abilities. I feel that my stock picking abilities aided- I was able to pick out which are the good stocks in the good market, but I have been blessed with a great market.
90
Making money from enforcing patents is no more wrong than investing in preferred stock.
91
If only the majority of the wealthiest top 10 percent of Americans own stock directly – which does not include pension and retirement accounts – then the divide between rich and poor is likely to expand.
92
Britain is perceived as a laughing stock and a mess. It’s a very scary and divided place.
93
The stock knows that I bought it, and it decides, ‘Mohnish is done. Now let’s go down.’
94
There have been many very successful acquirers, where they’ve bought up companies, and they’ve grown their earnings very rapidly, and the stock has appreciated tremendously.
95
Distributers don’t need massive amounts of square feet to stock digital products. Retailers don’t need brick-and-mortar stores to sell them. The entire supply chain for these select items has been permanently dematerialized. The marketplace has been blown to bits.
96
At their worst, message boards can subject you to mindless braying or outright stock scams. But at their best, they provide meaty insights on just about every stock imaginable.
97
Any business that is trying to sell something should be willing to spend a couple dollars for a stock photo to not have ads in it and not distract the user from using the product they’re trying to sell.
98
I’ve been investing in the stock market for 27 years and, within that time, have helped investors beat the market nearly four to one.
99
In 1992, I was in school. I did hear about Harshad Mehta and one of my cousins lost some money in the stock market, but I knew little about it.
100
Delaying and withholding tactics, red herrings, partial and doubtful outcomes are stock in trade for fiction writers, especially crime writers.
101
You go from a touring car to an IndyCar, which isn’t a great jump, and then you go to this big old heavy stock car which doesn’t feel like anything you’ve ever driven before. All of a sudden none of the stuff you’ve learned in your career – like setting up the car or what the mechanics need to know – works any more.
102
In many cases, the Treasury will get preferred or convertible preferred stock for the money it gives to banks. These shares typically don’t have voting rights, possibly to give more of a hands-off appearance to the government.
103
It’s one of the fundamental principles of the stock market: When interest rates go up, stocks go down. And along with financial companies and cyclicals, technology companies – with their sky-high price-to-earnings multiples – should be among the biggest losers in an environment of rising rates.
104
Monetary conditions exert an enormous influence on stock prices. Indeed, the monetary climate – primarily the trend in interest rates and Federal Reserve policy – is the dominant factor in determining the stock market’s major direction.
105
General Howard informed me, in a haughty spirit, that he would give my people 30 days to go back home, collect all their stock, and move onto the reservation.
106

107
Who owns the future? This is the question at the heart of every stock market.
108
I wish I had some stock in a scrunchie company.
109
I don’t like stock buybacks. I think if a company has the money to buy their stock back, then they should take that and increase the dividends. Send it back to the stockholder. Let them invest their money again from the dividends.
110
I mainly use Stratocasters. I like a lot of different kinds of guitars, but for what I do, it seems that a Stratocaster is the most versatile. I can pretty much get any sound out of it, and I use stock pickups.
111
It is a tenet of my investment style that, on the subject of common stock investment, maximizing the upside means first and foremost minimizing the downside. The deleterious effect of permanent capital loss on portfolio returns cannot be overstated.
112
In many situations today, you can make far more than the spread by holding onto the acquirer’s stock after the transaction is completed.

116
I couldn’t make a living as a comic in Ireland and I was watching my friends from college getting good jobs, buying houses, and I had to really take stock and say: am I going to go for this comedy thing, or what?
117
If you work for Google or Apple, stock options give you a chance to share in the increasing value of the company. In the N.F.L., nothing like this happens; the players, though rich, are just working stiffs like the rest of us.
118
I stopped asking myself questions like what the value of my stock was and started asking more fundamental questions of life and death.
119
As we prepare to leave the E.U. it is a good time to take stock of what we do on the global stage, and that includes what we do with U.K. aid.
120
If I’ve learned anything as an economic analyst, it is that the stock market and economic winds can shift by the hour.
121
I thought ‘Lock Stock’ was a good film. I thought ‘Lock Stock’ was a good film because I think it was a one-off before it was imitated a hundred times.
122
There are only two types of people in the world. There are the people who understand that this is a matrix, and then there are the people who buy it lock, stock and barrel.
123
Going public today is fraught with peril on many levels. One is earnings guidance. If you miss guidance, the stock price becomes very volatile. Short sellers can put a tremendous downward pressure on the stock.
124
No one likes to look at their stock price go down and say, ‘I feel good about that.’ It goes without saying.
125
I used to audition for ‘NYPD Blue’ quite a bit, so I had this stock New York detective character that I would bring in for all their auditions.
126
I’m going to retain a lot of Microsoft’s stock.
127
I went bald when I was 18. My father cried. He cried about many things. But it allowed me to play older men in summer stock.
128
I wanted the world when I was 20, and when I took stock at 40 I realised I hadn’t come anywhere close to getting it.
129
But the world is ever more interdependent. Stock markets and economies rise and fall together. Confidence is the key to prosperity. Insecurity spreads like contagion. So people crave stability and order.
130
Italian football is a laughing stock.
131
The first thing I ever invested in was Twitter. Blaine Cook, former CTO, was leaving the company and asked me if I wanted to buy his stock.
132
The stock market is a discounter of all known information.
133
The activists play the balance sheet by selling a division to buy back stock and leveraging the balance sheet and buying back more stock.
134
I come from a tough stock.
135
Coaching helps you take stock of where you are now in all aspects of your life, and how that compares to where you would like to be.
136
I hope that the institution will succeed in maximizing students’ potential in the same way. I will give all of my stock to this institution. It will own the Bose Corporation and be funded by the Bose Corporation.
137
If you put tariffs in place, it creates inflation. If you put inflation in place, you have to raise interest rates. You raise interest rates, and stock markets shouldn’t be so high.
138
Technology investment drove growth in the 1990s, both directly and by fueling a rising stock market that led to increased consumer spending.
139
When you make music, and even if it’s commercially successful, it doesn’t mean that it’s going to hold up. It takes time to sort of take stock of what you’ve done and whether it’s got legs and whether it’s going to really have a place.
140
No one owns you. One hundred per cent of the stock in your personal corporation belongs to you.
141
My morning runs have become one of the only times I have during the week to reflect and take stock.
142
I didn’t go to business school, didn’t care about financial stuff and the stock market.
143
People’s jobs are the biggest asset that they have. The net present value of your job is worth more than your house or your stock portfolio. As people decide whether they’re going to buy a car, they’re more concerned about whether they have a job and are likely to have a job next year.
144
I was a stock broker once. I think there is an absolute place for market investments. But they should never be the basis of one’s retirement. They should be an additional piece on top of a basic, secure, guaranteed retirement benefit.
145
Amazon has suffered quarters-long profit droughts. Alphabet has given its investors agita over profligate spending on non-core products. Microsoft’s growth – if not its profit engine – stalled for years, causing its stock to idle, too.
146
The stock from a pigeon is unique. It’s much better than quail or duck.
147
From the business point of view, always encouraging the people in our company to own stock in the company, and if we’re going to build something great, to have a lot of people share in the benefits of that greatness.
148
I’m not a stock expert by any means. Stocks go up; they go down.
149
Extracting the meat from a whole crab is a time-consuming job – picking all the meat out of the legs, claws and body, double-checking for bits of shells, etc. But the flavour makes it worth it, and you get the additional bonus of the crab shells to make a flavourful bisque or stock as a base for other dishes.
150
The stock market crash in October 1929 didn’t destroy a particularly large amount of wealth or make people highly pessimistic. Rather, it made companies and consumers very unsure about future income, and so led them to stop spending as they waited for more information.
151
It was simple reality – most competitive tennis players in my day were privileged, spoiled, entitled and white. Also, many of them were beautiful, fit, tan and of good stock – great big hair and white teeth and long legs. Then there were the rest of us.
152
The American public historically was really not part of the stock market.
153
My father was also interested in stocks. When I was a young child, he and his friends would drink in the evening and discuss about the stock market.
154
There’s certain stock lines that, you know, like heckler lines, you know, like, where did you learn to whisper, a helicopter, you know? Nobody owns those. I mean, someone first wrote it but it’s been so universally used that it’s common and it’s called stock.
155
Turning 50 is a little bit of a ‘taking stock’ moment. I feel probably a little dumber. I don’t think I’m as sharp as I was when I was younger, but I’m definitely wiser and less likely to make gigantic blunders of an intellectual, spiritual, emotional or physical type.
156
In history, the evidence is overwhelming: Stock market bottoms happen, and then stocks jolt upwards while the economy keeps getting worse – sometimes by a lot and for a long time.
157
China’s stock market is inextricably tied to politics.
158

161
Our stock in trade is raw, flailing sex.
162
Ironically, the original Detroit Stock Exchange once sat less than a thousand feet from StockX headquarters here in downtown Detroit. It is only fitting that we are going to build the next iteration of the world’s most efficient market invention almost in the same spot.
163
Sixty felt like a big landmark. Not in a dreadful sense, but none of the other birthdays have bothered me. It’s got labels on it – OAP, retirement – and I just wanted to take stock. I wanted to be in my greenhouse at home and at least give myself the opportunity of not working again.
164
I make some of my best recipes with a simple homemade stock. Keep shrimp shells stored in a plastic bag in the freezer. When you have almost a gallon-bag full, you can make a stock in 30 minutes that you can use in soups and sauces. You can then freeze the stock in ice-cube trays.
165
To be honest, I’ve never invested in the stock market. My grandmother used to warn us against the stock exchange. My grandfather had lost a lot money in the share market. We are a working class family.
166
The average trade of an individual is in the thousands of shares, whereas the institutional trade can be in the millions of shares. Clearly, the bigger the order, the bigger the move in the stock.
167
Somehow, I don’t think Jesus came to Earth to ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
168
I see that I have, as part of my stock in trade, a very regal personality and carriage. I see that I have a kind of strength, a kind of command, and a kind of power that one would associated with a monarch.
169
Stock prices relative to company assets are no better at signaling the likelihood of future earnings growth than they were the day the Titanic sank, and risk management is a good deal worse.
170
Newfoundlanders, what are we? We’re slobbering idiots, slack-jawed simpletons, rustic fish billies living in Dogpatch-on-the-rocks, lower than lower Slobovians, the laughing stock and ‘white trash’ of Canada.
171
You want to be appreciated for all your work as opposed to one performance, but I’ll always be ‘that bloke from ‘Lock, Stock’.’ You’ve got to embrace it.
172
Glamour is what I sell, it’s my stock in trade.
173
I never bought a stock in my life. I don’t understand it. To me it is like Chinese.
174
I don’t invest in the stock market. I did it a long, long time ago when I was really young, and I got involved in all the investigations and all the prosecutions, and I felt it was better if I didn’t make individual investments. So I’m invested in funds, but not in individual – not in individual stocks.
175
On Lock, Stock, we didn’t know where the money for shooting the next day was coming from.
176
Control of a company does not carry with it the ability to control the price of its stock.
177
Diplomacy is really far less important than the stock movements within Russia.
178
Recent economic data shows that our economy is robust, growing and headed in the right direction. The numbers don’t lie. Americans are currently enjoying falling gas prices, low unemployment, increased job creation, and a stock market that has reached an all-time high.
179
We were like a stock company at Warners. We didn’t know any of the stars from the other studios.
180
I had thought of joining my dad in his stock broking business in Delhi.
181
The day I was announced as CEO, I think the stock dropped another 20%.
182
People don’t like the car business. They like going to car sales, but they don’t like the stock of the car companies.
183
Many financial advisors recommend that you diversify for your own protection. What they fail to tell you is that it is also for their protection. Since most financial advisors cannot tell you exactly which stock or mutual fund is a great investment, they tell you to buy a bunch of them.
184
I own stock, and I also insure my car with Geico.
185
It has become cheaper to look for oil on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange than in the ground.
186
As a general rule, durable-goods production tends to be the most volatile sector of the economy. Since people usually have a stock of durables in use, when times get tight, they put off new purchases. What seem like small cutbacks to the end buyer translate into big swings for the producer.
187
I had been doing summer stock every summer while I was in college. We did a showcase, like most good conservatories do – monologues and things that agents and casting directors come to see. From that I got an agent.
188
Of course. I favor passive investing for most investors, because markets are amazingly successful devices for incorporating information into stock prices.
189
Companies that get confused, that think their goal is revenue or stock price or something. You have to focus on the things that lead to those.
190
I mean I wasn’t a founder in the sense that I contributed anything scientifically but in the sense that I signed the corporation papers and, and owned founder’s stock.
191
I worked on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange back when they used to write tickets. And I was just a runner. So a guy would write a ticket and I would run it, and it was endless. That was a hard job. And I dug tungsten… for a coal company in Wyoming one summer, and that was pretty miserable.
192
I don’t know if I owned a toothbrush until I was 19, maybe. I didn’t come from stock that placed any importance on the toothbrush. But a couple of girls I met changed that. And I would do anything to get a girl to pay attention to me long enough that I could feel good about myself.
193
In other words, Social Security is every bit as insecure as the stock market.
194
I had some airline stock, but the airlines tanked. I didn’t have a lot of money in them, though.
195
At the first rumors of war, timid investors in various government stock, being panic-stricken, sell out, to their loss and the gamblers’ gain.
196
Approaches to determining stock values vary, but fundamentally, each company judging itself undervalued is saying that its future stream of earnings justifies a higher price than the stock market is willing to accord it.
197
Doing the weekly shopping, I stock up on stir-fry kits, Amy’s meatless burgers, and armloads of onions and garlic. I put onions and garlic in everything.
198
A stock certificate is not a tool, like a shovel, or a commodity, like a pound of cheese. What we sell a customer is not a share in a business, but a view of the Elysian Fields. A financier is a creative artist. Our function is to stimulate the imagination. We are poets!
199
I believe in a ‘give us this day our daily bread’ sort of thing. And what I draw from that is, I try not to stock my refrigerator for groceries for the week, cause I might not live to see the full week.
200
Everyone who has ever aspired to be a stock car driver wants to win the Daytona 500. If someone says that it’s better to win somewhere else, then that tells me one thing for sure – they’ve never won at Daytona.
201
We’re like the stock exchange – we know everything that’s happening in the family. Since our kids are in the same profession, we all know how they’re placed.
202
Many follow a rule of thumb – no more than 5% in one stock. But that’s not the entrepreneurial road to riches.
203
At one point, Sarah Palin sent her husband instructions to stock up on ‘fresh fruit and veggies’ for the kids, and ‘as little processed foods as possible.’
204
When my book ‘Rich Dad’s Prophecy’ was released in 2002, most financial newspapers and magazines trashed it because I discussed a looming stock market crash.
205
At first, the only thing that I learned was to save. Then I learned about mutual fund, then later on direct stock investments. I also went into small businesses and even real estate.
206
We don’t really look at the stock, you know? Because for us, it’s about the long term. And so we’re very much focused on long-term shareholder value but not the short-term kind of stuff.
207
It was the early 1970s and I was recently divorced. I had three kids and was totally broke. I managed to find work back east on the straw-hat circuit – summer stock – but couldn’t afford hotels, so I lived out of the back of my truck, under a hard shell.
208
History proves… that a smart central bank can protect the economy and the financial sector from the nastier side effects of a stock market collapse.
209
Institutions like mutual funds often worry that if they disclose their plans to buy a stock, copycats will move quickly and drive up the stock before the purchase is completed.
210
I have invested in the stock market since I was very young.
211
Under Reagan came the idea of putting your pension plan in the stock market, which wasn’t a guaranteed pension.
212
Apparently it’s acceptable for members of Congress to own stock in companies we regulate in Congress, but somehow, our plumbing company crosses some line.
213
It is understandable that the Fed injects cash to avoid the collapse of the stock market, but basically it is bad policy for monetary authorities to intervene to save speculators from bankruptcy. This is not their role.
214
It turned out it was really easy to create commercial stock footage.
215
We think that in Mexico, online trading of shares and financial instruments is not going to be as important as it is in the U.S. On days that there is a banking holiday in the U.S., you hardly see any movement here on the stock exchange.
216
North Korea’s whole idea is to create a crisis to solve a crisis. They’re so poor and they’re so desperate that they realize that this bombastic rhetoric can drive the South Korean stock market down and get the U.S. in a tizzy. And it’s a game they’ve been playing for many, many years.
217
Big money is made in the stock market by being on the right side of the major moves. The idea is to get in harmony with the market. It’s suicidal to fight trends. They have a higher probability of continuing than not.
218
The vast majority of companies don’t go public and mint dozens of millionaires. And most companies don’t go around doling out stock options; private companies tend to be very tight about ownership.
219
I had a couple of million dollars’ worth of… stock once. And now it’s not worth much more than wallpaper. I guess I just wasn’t born to be rich.
220
Well, actually, I manage a couple of stock portfolios or funds or whatever you want to call ’em, and I think I’ve done relatively well with them.
221
When the Atlanta Braves were owned by Ted Turner, he was very passionate and did whatever it took to do something good – and eventually he made money. Labels used to be the same way. Now they’re corporations, and it’s only about their stock.
222
I think any statement about stock prices is always suspect unless it’s made by Warren Buffett.
223
I was about thirteen when I started thinking about the stock market. My dad helped me a little bit. I’d see it in the ‘Santa Barbara News-Press.’ These prices would change every day – what was that all about?
224
What’s true for churches is true for other institutions: the older and more organized they get, the less adaptable they become. That’s why the most resilient things in our world – biological life, stock markets, the Internet – are loosely organized.
225
I rely on my iPad for on-the-go entertainment. I stock it with TV shows, like ‘Parks and Recreation’ and the British version of ‘The Office.’ I’m reading a Charles Manson biography on it too, since I’m weirdly into true crime.
226
If you want to make short-term profits from the stock price, then I am a very bad president. But I don’t think I’m so bad for maximizing the long-term value of Nintendo.
227
The old boy network is still very strong and very true. Just look at the stock exchange and how many men and women are there. It is still very much run by men.
228
The studio system reminds me of the stock market.
229
It is indeed true that the stock market can forecast the business cycle.
230
When the weather changes, nobody believes the laws of physics have changed. Similarly, I don’t believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed.
231
Software-industry battles are fought by highly paid and out-of-shape nerds furiously pounding computer keyboards while they guzzle diet Coke. The stakes aren’t very dramatic. Life? Liberty? The pursuit of happiness? Nope, it’s about stock options.
232
Jayne Houdyshell and I – when I was 17 years old – did summer stock together at the Timber Lake Playhouse in Mt. Carroll, IL. She was the leading lady of the company, and I was an intern.
233
I was a young boy. A stock car guy used to live across the street from us. He’d work on his car, and both of my older brothers became gearheads.
234
The usual reason companies are funded or valued on the stock market for not having a current profit is because the investors believe there will be a future profit.
235
The United States is the only country where a driver can have a successful career – either in stock cars or IndyCar – and he won’t need a passport.
236
There are domains in which expertise is not possible. Stock picking is a good example. And in long-term political strategic forecasting, it’s been shown that experts are just not better than a dice-throwing monkey.
237
In financial services, the front end of the world operates at super-high speeds: comparative advantages are measured in fractions of nanoseconds. And yet back end processes – the amount of time you have to wait when you sell a stock before cash hits your account – can take days.
238
What indexing does is neutralize a large part of the stock market. There’s no trading in those stocks, or almost none.
239
It’s just not good to put stock in a Hollywood celebrity.
240
Long before the thousand millions are here, the mighty centrifugal tendency, inherent in this stock and strengthened in the United States, will assert itself.
241
I think there’s a suspicion in the South of people putting on airs. You see it in most successful Southern politicians, but you also see it in someone like Richard Petty, who may be a multimillionaire stock car driver, but he’s also beloved because he has a nice self-deprecatory way about him.
242
An interesting thing happened in 1989, right as I was graduating: the stock market crashed and really changed the landscape of the art world in New York. It made the kind of work I was doing interesting to galleries that wouldn’t have normally been interested in it.
243
For most of Wall Street’s history, stock trading was fairly straightforward: buyers and sellers gathered on exchange floors and dickered until they struck a deal.
244
Bloomberg does not cater to the Indian audience. It does display Indian stock indices, and during trading hours has a ticker tape of Indian stocks running across the bottom, but then so do most of the news channels.
245
In my business investing, you are buying a stock, and someone else is selling the stock. Right there, that’s like a debate. Is the stock going up, or is it going to go down?
246
I studied economics and thought I wanted to play with the stock market – my dad was a financial adviser – and I was going to go down that path. I was an intern at Smith Barney.
247
At Time Warner, I had ten percent of the stock after the merger. But when we merged with AOL, I was diluted down to three percent.
248
Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it.
249
As we take stock of this century of achievement, Ulster Unionists have every reason to feel proud.
250
There are already dozens of organizations working on trying to prevent plastic from going into the ocean, through advocacy, education, awareness, all great work, yet nobody was addressing the stock of existing pollution.
251
Dan Curtis, our producer, has the idea that people like to see a stock company of actors.
252
All my money is in a savings account. My dad has explained the stock market to me maybe 75 times. I still don’t understand it.
253
There was the usual summer stock, the New England tours and then I started doing all kinds of roles for CBS after moving to California.
254
In taking stock of ourselves, we should not forget that fear plays a large part in the drama of failure. That is the first thing to be dropped. Fear is a mental deficiency susceptible of correction, if taken in hand before it gains an ascendency over us. Fear comes with the thought of failure.
255
When I was in the private sector, one characteristic that differentiated the best entrepreneurs from the others was that they were not in it for the stock options, but for a mission – to deliver something that was helpful… Every entrepreneurial journey, it turns out, is like this.
256
Tech executives have historically been owners of significant portions of their companies’ stock so there is a propensity for them to diversify as a rule.
257
Although professionals are able to extract a considerable amount of wealth from amateurs, few stock pickers, if any, have the skill needed to beat the market consistently, year after year.
258
The true currency of life is time, not money, and we’ve all got a limited stock of that.
259
You can do almost anything with soup stock, it’s like a strong foundation. When you have the right foundation, everything tastes good.
260
An ordinary person who wants to invest in the stock market or a mutual fund, or simply open a saving bank account, is bombarded by ever increasing compliance regulations under the pretext of automation, efficiency, better governance or prevention of money laundering.
261
Democracy doesn’t require a whole lot of work of its citizens, but it requires some: It requires taking a good look outside once in a while, and considering the bad news and what it might mean, and making the occasional tough choice, and soberly taking stock of what your real interests are.
262
I’ve always put a lot of stock in aesthetics and visuals. I truly believe a picture is worth a thousand words and that fashion and glamour have the power to transport and transform someone.
263
I’ve always been big, my brothers are my size, we come from good stock.
264
Loads of players love the stock markets. For me, it’s fashion.
265
Even from the very beginning, I didn’t put any money in the stock market.
266
Most of us look forward to the start of a new year as a clean slate. We reflect on the past 12 months, take stock of where we are, and make new resolutions about how to improve in the coming year.
267
You get recessions, you have stock market declines. If you don’t understand that’s going to happen, then you’re not ready, you won’t do well in the markets.
268
I studied what happened in the bond and the stock markets during previous periods when the Fed stopped manipulating the bond market. In every single case, the moment the Fed announced that there would be a cessation of intervention, stocks declined and interest rates went up.
269
I was born in Jamaica but was educated by, and now serve, prestigious First World institutions, so I believe that I have a unique, dual perspective. To sidestep any biases I might have, I use the objective lens of the stock market to discover which policies actually delivered prosperity to emerging markets.
270
The blockchain concept was pioneered within the context of crypto-currency Bitcoin, but engineers have imagined many other ways for distributed ledger technology to streamline the world. Stock exchanges and big banks, for example, are looking at blockchain-type systems as trading settlement platforms.
271
Stock market goes up or down, and you can’t adjust your portfolio based on the whims of the market, so you have to have a strategy in a position and stay true to that strategy and not pay attention to noise that could surround any particular investment.
272
I don’t know anything about a stock!
273
I’m not against government involvement in times of need. I am for recognizing that big public companies will continue to cut jobs in an effort to prop up stock prices, which in turn stimulates the need for more government involvement.
274
Early in my career, we were just pure bottoms-up stock pickers.
275
Not having sub-governance would be like anyone who owns USD being able to walk into a Google shareholder meeting and voting without owning Google stock just because Google shares happen to be denominated in USD.
276
We have this culture of financialization. People think they need to make money with their savings rather with their own business. So you end up with dentists who are more traders than dentists. A dentist should drill teeth and use whatever he does in the stock market for entertainment.
277
I’m a casual F1 racing fan. I’m probably more of a stock car, NASCAR guy.
278
I have always considered myself a very resilient person, I come from very down-to-earth Northern stock, pragmatic by nature and with that bounce-back-ability.
279
When you have a good stock, you can make a good soup.
280
Strong credit markets give companies borrowing options to boost their stock prices while making bearish investors scramble to close out trades before losing any more money, both of which then push the stock market even higher and continue the self-reinforcing bullish cycle.
281
The biggest profit center for investment banks is the hefty fees they charge for underwriting stock offerings and giving financial advice, and analysts put those profits at risk if they publish negative conclusions about the companies that pay the fees.
282
The techniques of being an Internet visionary are just like those of lower-tech fortunetellers through the ages. A technological visionary must tell people what they want to hear, because your company’s stock won’t rise if you spout an unpopular vision to analysts.
283
Generally, a rally will have staying power, technicians say, if, in addition to price movements, it has heavy trading volume and breadth, meaning that several stocks rise for each stock that falls.
284
Methinks, that a broker, however good and savvy, will only speak about the stock that interest him after he has bought enough of shares already and is now in the process of booking profits.
285
I envision a day when a businesswoman will be having lunch, and then her phone will ring. When she opens it up, she will see an image of the latest Marc Jacobs coat that just arrived in stock. With a click of a button, she can purchase it and then find it waiting for her when she gets back to her office.
286
I’m from durable stock. I’m made to work. I’m Irish.
287
The film industry has always been unpredictable! It is like the stock market really.
288
I invested in many companies, and I’m happy this one worked. This is capitalism. You invest in stock, it goes up, it goes down. You know, if you don’t like capitalism, you don’t like making money with stock, move to Cuba or China.
289
We don’t want A.I. to engage in cyberbullying, stock manipulation, or terrorist threats; we don’t want the F.B.I. to release A.I. systems that entrap people into committing crimes. We don’t want autonomous vehicles that drive through red lights, or worse, A.I. weapons that violate international treaties.
290
You can demonize Goldman Sachs all you want, and I’m sure there are reasons to do it. But the real pressure is all of us pressuring the companies for stock returns, and that leads to all kinds of decisions.
291
Most of the time, economic data is fairly benign. I don’t wish to imply it is meaningless, but it is not a driver of stock markets. Indeed, the correlation between economic noise and how equity markets perform has been wildly overemphasized.
292
I found the stock market very intriguing because prices used to fluctuate, I used to wonder why the price fluctuates.
293
In my community of minimalists, there are really wealthy people who work at stock brokerage firms, there are people who are unemployed, but it doesn’t seem to matter. We’re all really good friends, and we get along really well. It’s a very varied and diverse community.
294
I come from a long line of below-stairs maids and gardeners. Good ol’ peasant stock. My mother and her sister made a quantum leap out of that life. Then I made another quantum leap.
295
Stock photos are used everywhere on the Net. Chances are, the website you are on right now uses stock photos somewhere – maybe as the featured image of the blog post. This also means that there will always be a large market for stock photographers.
296
The robust benefits of employee stock ownership plans are hard to beat.
297
As a business man running a huge enterprise, it wouldn’t be smart for me to discuss my potential business decisions with a journalistic tabloid. That being said, I certainly aim to make waves in the wrestling world, and continue to raise Villain Enterprises stock through the roof.
298
I think the tech stock, the public market is still completely traumatized by the dotcom crash. I think the investors and reporters and analysts and everybody is determined to not get taken advantage of again, and that is what everybody who lived through 2000, what they kind of remember.
299
I know that I don’t look like a footballer but I’ve always enjoyed working out and I’ve always been bigger than most people out there. I come from big stock. If you see my brothers and me together, we look like a wrestling tag team trio.
300
Marrying to increase love is like gaming to become rich; alas, you only lose what little stock you had before.
301
I refuse to believe that trading recipes is silly. Tuna Fish casserole is at least as real as corporate stock.
302
I decided that the stock market was not an option for IKEA. I knew that only a long-term perspective could secure our growth plans, and I didn’t want IKEA to become dependent on financial institutions.
303
Buying only what you know can end in disaster. Just think about Enron’s employees and business partners, the ‘locals’ who bought lots of its stock because they thought they were in the know.
304
Whenever, then, the usual and ordinary rate of the profits of agricultural stock, and all the outgoings belonging to the cultivation of land, are together equal to the value of the whole produce, there can be no rent.
305
Agriculture is not crop production as popular belief holds – it’s the production of food and fiber from the world’s land and waters. Without agriculture it is not possible to have a city, stock market, banks, university, church or army. Agriculture is the foundation of civilization and any stable economy.
306
Mutual funds give people the sense that they’re investing with the big boys and that they’re really not at a disadvantage entering the stock market.
307
Nobody wants to be a laughing stock.
308
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.
309
I want to open a restaurant, and I want to start selling properties. I want to own some stock.
310
Barnes & Noble, along with other independent bookstores, are refusing to stock Amazon Publishing titles. They’ll order books from the online retail giant if customers ask, but bookstores have so far declined to be ‘showrooms’ for Amazon.
311
Don’t hold against me that I don’t own – that I don’t own a single stock or bond. Don’t hold it – I have no savings accounts.
312
Miso makes a soup loaded with flavour that saves you the hassle of making stock.
313
But we have to ask ourselves, what’s the purpose of the stock market? It’s supposed to be a source of capital for growing business. It’s lost that purpose.
314
I think reporters think that they can get something extra out of a person face-to-face, but in reality people just give stock answers because there’s a social situation going on.
315
I opened up Shutterstock to the whole world. I created a contributor community that anyone could give stock photography a shot.
316
When I became CEO of Xerox 10 years ago, the company’s situation was dire. Debt was mounting, the stock sinking and bankers were calling. People urged me to declare bankruptcy, but I felt personally responsible for tens of thousands of employees.
317
I tried paying at a restaurant with stock options. It didn’t work.
318
I helped start a ceramics company called CPS Technologies. We took it public in 1987 at $12 a share. Three months later, there was this horrible cliff: Black Monday. Fidelity had bought 15 percent of our stock, and their algorithm caused them to dump it all onto the market that day. We dropped from $12 to $2.
319
A lot of the money in the stock market is really our national retirement plan, for better or worse.
320
Every portfolio benefits from bonds; they provide a cushion when the stock market hits a rough patch. But avoiding stocks completely could mean your investment won’t grow any faster than the rate of inflation.
321
It’s possible to have more than one interest. I’ve been a painter and did summer stock.
322
One of the very nice things about investing in the stock market is that you learn about all different aspects of the economy. It’s your window into a very large world.
323
The public lands are a public stock, which ought to be disposed of to the best advantage for the nation.
324
If you have a company called x and today you feel the price is very high. Next year it could perform very well but the price may not perform. So in the stock market what happens is buy on the rumor, sell on the news.
325
If employed by employee stock ownership plan companies, working Americans can spend less time worrying about job security and retirement savings and enjoy a clearer path to prosperity.
326
I don’t put a lot of stock into polls.
327
I think about what I say. I don’t give stock answers. I’m not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.
328
Nothing is simpler than owning the stock market and holding it forever, and that’s essentially the idea behind the index fund.
329
I had seen ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and I thought that was a different kind of film than I’d seen before, with that kind of editing and slick camera movements.
330
Whatever you do needs to be sustainable over time, and taking the money in the short term and taking it in a bubble – like buying an Internet stock in 2000 – may not be sustainable.
331
If a company’s stock is undervalued – as many managers believe theirs is – a repurchase may offer the best payoff of all.
332
I have never owned a share of stock in my life, and the only time I’ve double dipped into anything is at the snack tray.
333
Pop flies, in a sense, are just a diversion for a second baseman. Grounders are his stock trade.
334
Having a kid motivates you to really take stock of yourself and how much of yourself you want to be reflected back in the actions of your kid.
335
When it comes to portfolios, my personal advice is for anyone who can, put money into forestry or farmland. Long term, you would probably never come near their returns in the stock market. In the world that I see, land is golden.
336
People should think about their closets like they think about a stock portfolio. There are things you want to invest in; you make those investments, and those are your blue chips. So you should invest in a great pair of jeans, in a great cashmere sweater.
337
A lot of the people of the Midwest came from the Northeast. We’re of the same stock. Yet something must have happened when we crossed the Ohio River Valley because I have sensed that there’s more of an openness and flexibility of spirit out West.
338
The great thing about having money is that you can actually just get on with your life and not have to think about paying the bills or crouch over ‘The Wall Street Journal’ or the ‘Financial Times’ and look at the stock figures and things like that. That bores me rigid.
339
On Friday, October 28, 2016, the FBI disclosed that they were reopening Clinton’s email probe, and the same day, gold hit $1280/oz. Conversely, oil dropped by $1.33 to $45.34 per barrel, while stock prices also took a tumble.
340
The media and marketing deluge has spawned a new type of Wall Street loser: the armchair momentum player. These are novice investors who engage in short-term stock buying and selling based on media reports or an expert’s enthusiasm.
341
I wish I owned stock in Nicorette. I love Nicorette. Best invention ever.
342
In the world I’ve known most of my life, old stories quickly lose their power over capital markets and get replaced by new surprises. That which everyone fixates on gets priced into the stock market quickly and can’t drag on.
343
If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.
344
Some people, no matter how robust their stock portfolios or how healthy their children, are always mentally preparing for doom. They are just born worriers, their brains forever anticipating the dropping of some dreaded other shoe.
