When it comes to investing in the stock market, discipline is the key to success, be patient and look at the long term gains instead of short term gains. Remember, when you leave school, your banker does not ask you for your report card. Your banker does not come if you had good grades or bad grades. All bankers want to see is your financial statement, your financial statement is your report card when you leave school.

Rule number 1 is – Do not gamble in the stock market, invest! Remember, stop trying to predict the direction of the stock market, the economy or the elections. When investing, invest for long term gain and not speculate for short term gains. Better to be safe than sorry. I truly believe you will find these famous investment quotes useful, especially in times when the stock market is in bear market mode for the coming global recession, possibly due to the massive property bubbles in China, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and most Asian countries. What to invest in this current recession? What else? The Stock Market of course.
