I like investment quotes. They are snapshots of wisdom. An insight into the minds of genius investors. Many of these quotes individually could be the basis of an entire book.
I have been collecting these quotes to add to each post I write. Unfortunately I have way more quotes than I have posts up on this site. So I thought I would compile this list to provide more bite-sized pieces of wisdom for your enjoyment.
“It ain’t over till its over.” – Yogi Berra
For the famous NY Yankee catcher, it is finally over.
The famous “philosopher” and NY Yankee catcher, Yogi Berra, passed away last week at the age of 90. It truly is a sad day for baseball. While Yogi was a famous NY Yankee, he was also well know for his humorous quotes or Yogisms due to their paradoxical and obviously redundant nature.
Even if you are not a fan of baseball or the Yankees (I cannot blame you for that), you might have heard or even said some of his quotes in the past without knowing they were his. In memory of his contributions to baseball and the American lexicon I decided to write this post about his famous quotes and how they apply to the financial markets.

Maybe. But it really depends on what you are invested in and how it is structured. If this recent 10% drop is causing you to lose sleep, then you need help.
