Be fearful when others are greedy, be greedy when others are fearful. Invest when discount sale is on. Price is what you pay, value is what you get. Purchase share of business not share certificate. Look at P/E ratio not absolute level of index. Wealth creation is art of purchasing 1 rupee for 40 paisa.

Stock market quotes

In short term market is like Voting machine, in long run it is like weighing machine. Bull will climb staircase but bear will always jump through window. Tops & bottoms are for fools & liars. Most important organ for investment is stomach.
