Quote examples
Nouriel Roubini
American Economist
I believe investors should invest for the long run, so I don't buy and sell. I usually maintain the classic index of global equities, diversified U.S. and global and emerging markets, and when the risk is larger, I diminish the amount in global equities and put more into liquid assets - but very irregularly.

Quote examples
Jose Rizal
Filipino Writer

Quote examples
William Falconer
Scottish Poet
