“نَحْنُ أدْرَى وَقد سألْنَا بِنَجْدٍ...أطَوِيلٌ طَرِيقُنَا أمْ يَطُولُ
وَكَثيرٌ مِنَ السّؤالِ اشْتِيَاقٌ...وَكَثِيرٌ مِنْ رَدّهِ تَعْليلُ”

“When the game is no longer being played your way, it is only human to say the new approach is all wrong, bound to lead to trouble, etc. I have been scornful of such behavior by others in the past. I have also seen the penalties incurred by those who evaluate conditions as they were – not as they are. Essentially I am out of step with present conditions. On one point, however, I am clear. I will not abandon a previous approach whose logic I understand even though it may mean foregoing large, and apparently easy, profits to embrace an approach which I don't fully understand, have not practiced successfully and which, possibly, could lead to a substantial permanent loss of capital.6”
― Michael Batnick, Big Mistakes: The Best Investors and Their Worst Investments

“It's the tide. It's the dismal tide. It's not the one thing.”
― El Paso Sheriff
