Quote of the Day
"Thoughtful investors continue to examine the features of markets they come to think of as permanent and immutable. They continue to think about the states of the world that may be embedded in their inferences. They are relentless in questioning how their personal experiences may be influencing the questions they ask, and the experiments they set up to answer them."
(Rusty Guinn)
