Check. And between the big events, the earthquakes, and tidal waves, God’s got me squeezed in for a cameo appearance. Then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, God’s daily planner has me finished.” ~ Chuck Palahniuk

An investment without a public marketplace attracts the fabulists the way picnics attract ants. Stockbrokers and financial planners can tell you anything they want because no one really knows what’s true. The First Corollary to Quinn’s First Law states that, even when the price is in the newspapers, you shouldn’t buy anything too complex to explain to the average 12-year-old.” ~ Jane Bryant Quinn
