24 The Next Best Thing To Being on The Inside
Love, like investing, is an art and not a science. What is a stop-loss order? What is a protective put? I ask, "How do you manage risk?" You say, "Take what the market is giving you." I say, "But how do I do that." You say, "Purchase what is selling below its real value and sell what is trading above its real value."
"But how do I know value?" I say.
You say, "It is only charlatans who are certain. Doubt is not a very agreeable state, but certainly is a ridiculous one."
Never tell anyone what you are doing in the market because later it can force you to do things you might not want to do.
