Market Traders Sayings

#1. I grew up in the East End of London, the youngest of three boys in a Catholic household. Both my parents were market traders and worked seven days a week.

James Herbert

#2. Personally I don't think day traders are speculating, because traditional speculation requires some market knowledge. They are, instead, gambling, which doesn't.

Arthur Levitt Jr

#3. The best restraint is old-fashioned market discipline, in which financial traders know that they, personally, will lose a ton of money if they take risky bets that don't pan out.

David Ignatius

#4. The Compound Effect will help you beat the competition, rise above your challenges, and create the life you deserve!

T. Harv Eker

#5. Traders can cause short-term volatility. In the long run, the market must revert to a sensible price/earnings multiple.

Ben Stein

#6. It is wrong to chide the novel for being fascinated by mysterious coincidences ... but it is right to chide man for being blind to such coincidences in his daily life. For he thereby deprives his life a dimension of beauty.

Milan Kundera

#7. Theory of public goods. Theory that if I take you euro (as an elected state government) and give fifty cents back... you will be happier and I will be satisfied.

Radovan Kavicky

#8. We have this culture of financialization. People think they need to make money with their savings rather with their own business. So you end up with dentists who are more traders than dentists. A dentist should drill teeth and use whatever he does in the stock market for entertainment.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

#9. The best traders I know are also the most humble people I know, coincidence? Or has the market taught them some very valuable lessons?

Steve Burns

#10. It's been about 15 years, and I've never really worked seriously in CGI and I thought that here was an opportunity to do the kinds of things that I was not able to do on Ghostbusters.

Ivan Reitman

#11. The best traders are simply slaves to the market's price action

Steve Burns

#12. Everybody gets what they want out of the market

Ed Seykota

#13. I do not wanna write a song like 'Coathanger' so Andrew Breitbart can rage against me on his web site. It's not my idea of fun.

Graham Parker

#14. We built a market at IEX that does not sell certain types of technology advantages to high-frequency traders, and as a result, the high-frequency traders that didn't rely on buying those advantages trade on IEX.

Brad Katsuyama

#15. Ask people for help. You'll be all right. Don't worry. It's a great adventure, your life, and it has only just begun ...

Gregory David Roberts

#16. They don't try to trade 'reality', they try to trade
other people's perceptions of reality. If a market is dominated by enough technical traders, it could lapse into a 'postmodern' state, with traders trading perceptions of perceptions of reality.

Brett Scott

#17. By contrast, all professional traders know full well that the market is a huge mass of people.
