- “The Stock Exchange is something very different. There is no economy and no production of goods and services. There are only fantasies in which people from one hour to the next decide that this or that company is worth so many billions, more or less. It doesn’t have a thing to do with reality or with the Swedish economy.” ~ Steig Larsson
- “People know, or dimly feel, that if thinking is not kept pure and keen, and if respect for the world of mind is no longer operative, ships and automobiles will soon cease to run right, the engineer’s slide rule and the computations of banks and stock exchanges will forfeit validity and authority, and chaos will ensue.” ~ Hermann Hesse

- “Fear and hope remain the same; therefore the study of the psychology of speculators is as valuable as it ever was. Weapons change, but the strategy remains strategy, on the New York Stock Exchange as on the battlefield. I think the clearest summing up of the whole thing was expressed by Thomas F. Woodlock when he declared: “The principles of successful stock speculation are based on the supposition that people will continue in the future to make the mistakes that they have made in the past.”” ~ Edwin Lefevre
- “Political systems must love poverty-they produce so much of it. Poor people make easier targets for a demagogue. No Mao or even Jiang Zemin is likely to arise on the New York Stock Exchange floor. And politicians in democracies benefit from destitution, too. The US has had a broad range of poverty programs for 30 years. Those programs have failed. Millions of people are still poor. And those people vote for politicians who favor keeping the poverty programs in place. There’s a conspiracy theory in there somewhere.” ~ P. J. O’Rourke

That’s not what I call capitalism.” ~ Louis O. Kelso

- “It is no accident that stock exchange floors – in addition to bedroom floors – bring out the noisy blood, the flushed cheek, and the passionate cries of men. Most men are making love when they make ‘magical’ amounts of money.” ~ Phyllis Chesler

To the contrary, it would be saved.” ~ Samson Raphael Hirsch

It comes from the novels, the movies, the fashion magazines. It comes from popular culture.” ~ Chris Abani , Stock Exchange quotes news

But some sort of political realignment is plainly what this country needs.” ~ David Hare

We assess the value of education in the same manner as we assess the value of land or of shares in the stock-exchange market. We want to provide only such education as would enable the student to earn more. We hardly give any thought to the improvement of the character of the educated. The girls, we say, do not have to earn; so why should they be educated? As long as such ideas persist there is no hope of our ever knowing the true value of education.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
