"Forge the habit of being patient. Great things take time to bloom. The best investments take time. Success takes time. Survive until you thrive. Do the things every day that will help move you forward and be patient. Those things will eventually begin paying dividends. Good luck visits the persistent."
"The more you buy and sell your investments, the greater your chance of losing money. If you invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 in 1995 and stayed invested through 2014, you wouldve earned 9.85 percent annually or $59,593. Yet, if you missed the best ten days during that 19-year period your return would have fallen to 6.1 percent. Nineteen years later, your initial $10,000 would be worth $30,803.
Timing the market is a losing proposition, and even the best rarely win."
