Quotes by Fred Schwed Jr.  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Speculation is an effort, probably unsuccessful, to turn a little money into a lot. Investment is an effort, which should be successful, to prevent a lot of money from becoming a little.”
Fred Schwed Jr., Where Are the Customers' Yachts?: or A Good Hard Look at Wall Street

“The notion, a debatable one, is that the man who knows the problems necessarily knows the answers.

This book has not been successful if it has not suggested some big-league problems, such as:

(1) Should our financial machinery be scrapped?
(2) Should it be further tinkered with, and if so, how much further?
(3) Is capitalism doomed?
(4) What active stock selling under five dollars looks hot just now for a quick turn to pay for the Buick the wife just bought?


There isn’t an assistant instructor in economics in any faculty who can’t answer these and similar questions rapidly and categorically, and if that is not enough there are a million laymen eager to do so. So I don’t feel that my vote is much needed.”
Fred Schwed Jr., Where Are the Customers' Yachts?: or A Good Hard Look at Wall Street

“Dictatorships always immediately ban short selling, since it is axiomatic with them that no professional pessimists are going to be tolerated.”
Fred Schwed Jr., Where Are the Customers' Yachts?: or A Good Hard Look at Wall Street
