Tweetable Quotes

"I was raised without any money, so the thing that you don't have when you grow up is kind of the thing you end up coveting or wanting or desiring."

"Just knowing more about how to invest does not mean you're a more successful investor... Investing is 100% forward-looking. It requires us to either know something about the future, which is impossible... So what can I do? Well, oddly, there's a ton of academic research that tells us what we should do and it's very clear. It's not complex."

"The largest benefit that the advisor provides is behavioral support... The point of that is to provide some calm and to move people out of the amygdala fight-or-flight response into the frontal cortex. Have them think about it, reflect on their plan, realize that, hey, probably the best thing I can do for myself is sit on my hands right now, not do anything, ride this out, this too shall pass."
