Quote of the Day
"Warren Buffett is the greatest investor in history. I don’t think his (or Charlie’s) takes on the state of the markets are crucial to listen to anymore. I’m not sure if these takes are doing more harm than good at this point. I never thought I would be saying this out loud."
(Josh Brown)
