Nobody can predict the market. However there are experts who have been in the industry for many years, who invest and look at the markets for a living. And no we aren’t talking about ourselves. We’re not quite famous enough to be quoted...yet. We’re talking about the heavy hitters. The cool cats and kittens we mere mortals look up to. In uncertain times (and certain), their words give us valuable insight into the wise ways they think and ultimately how they invest and live their lives. Here are our top picks:
Sallie Krawcheck aka the Most Courageous Person in the World
“Albert Einstein is reported to have said compounding is the eighth wonder of the world. Obviously, a dollar invested in your 20s is worth so much more than a dollar invested in your 60s.”
A quote within a quote?!? Love it. Can’t get enough of it. Krawcheck, founder of Ellevest and former Wall Street Banker, hit the nail on the head. Start investing early. If you’re wondering if now is a good time to invest, read this.
Warren Buffett aka the Oracle of Omaha
“Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.”
Buffett has so many solid quotes, it was hard to choose. His wisdom applies to both life and money. As an investor, you should always do your homework before making decisions. To take it a step further, having a personalized plan for your finances goes a long way in reducing risk. Here are some more Buffett quotes just because they are that good.
Tony Robbins aka the Most Confident Person on Earth
“I love quotes, but in the end, knowledge has to be converted to action or it’s worthless.”
Yaaaaaas, Tony! And yes, we are on a first name basis. Be smart. Do your research. Consider all of your options. But most importantly, act on what you think is the best course of action. “Ideas are cheap. Executing is the hard part.” And that’s a Monica Meng quote. BOOM.
