Quote for the Week
Most people think of common stocks as speculative media. They are not, in my opinion. Good common stocks are investment media which are subject to speculative influences. The speculative influences are not the common stocks; they are in the minds of the people who buy and sell them. The problem of investment in common stocks is either to insulate yourselves from the speculative influences, or else to adjust your investment policy so that you can take advantage of the speculative fluctuations that are imposed upon the basic investment quality of common stocks. — Benjamin Graham (source)
