Have you ever needed a fast and ready fact, an inspirational quotation or a pithy and informative remark relating to investments or to do with investing advice, but don’t always quite know exactly where to look or how far to go to find it? Well, look no further, as within the pages of this quotation book you have found a source of investment knowledge very much like it, or possibly just as good. Designed primarily to cater for the interests of financial scrap-bookers, investment trivia buffs, economical word lovers, quotational bookworms, novice investors, ever-hopeful veteran investors, sage old investors or just plain old investors with chips on their shoulders, this book represents a fascinatingly broad spectrum of quotations relating to the subject of investing. Here, this mostly concerning investing (money) in stocks and shares (but, occasionally, also in other related financial schemes or ventures of a lucrative nature), with the hope, promise or expectation of achieving a profit.
Consequently, the book has a decided emphasis on the seeking out and recording of "good" or "wholesome" (if not always "better") best practice advice on investing in stocks and shares. This, either for fun or profit, or probably both if money is to be made there as well, from taking the advice of many a cautious wisdom-monger, savvy financial commentator, canny stockbroker or sage old investing wizard of the investment world.
This virtually unique "quotational storehouse" of many an investing "pearl of wisdom" results in many unexpected and rare examples of wit and wisdom coming to the fore, and which are ideal for helping to shed more light on investment regimes. The quotations themselves are used under “fair use” conditions of copyright law, or, because of their age, are undoubtedly now in the public domain. They have been ordered in various sections that, ideally, show off their usefulness most effectively. They include a number of selections of quotations and canny investing precepts of Warren Buffett, ordered by topicality and relevance, together with a shorter collection of quotations by Charlie Munger, Benjamin Graham and Benjamin Franklin.
In addition to this veritable "goldmine of investing knowledge" from these four world renowned financial and investing icons, there is also a longer collection of erudite wisdom comprised of over a thousand quotations from many other original and penetrating minds, both ancient and modern. The quotations have been taken from literary and academic sources as well as from investing, and are comprised of many quotational gems of brevity, originality and wit with direct relevance to the investing world.
While, as a foil and in addition to the main gist or contents of the book, there is also a brief section on topical investment wit and humour from many a humour writer’s pen. This section perhaps has been added almost as an attempt to answer a perceived need to find more humour in the act of investing. Who knows, this might even be essential to anybody seriously intending to spend his time investing in stocks and shares.
