Quotes to ponder:

"The market doesn’t care about your carefully constructed portfolio or how fantastic your stocks are."

"The true test of an investor is not how they behave when everything is going up, but how they behave when nothing is working."

"Markets are not always rational in the short run, but they are a weighing machine in the long run."
