Sharing Some Investing Quotes

Updated: June 22, 2012

As I was reading through my archives the other day, I noticed that I only had a few posts about investing last year. Admittedly, I was indeed more focused on business and personal finance.

That’s why this year, I’ll try to write more articles about investing, specifically on paper assets like stocks, bonds, mutual funds and others. I know this is a subject of special interest to those who really have extra money and doesn’t want their cash just sitting in their savings accounts.

Actually, a few weeks ago, I received an email from someone who is quite happy with his job and doesn’t want to leave the corporate world to become an entrepreneur. However, he does want to retire young and achieve financial freedom. His plan is to study and invest in the stock market and dabble on real estate, which is quite good if you ask me.

Anyway, as I plan and prepare these articles for you, let me first share some investing quotes from various personalities in the world of business and financial investments. I hope you enjoy reading them and do add a few more that you know. 🙂
