"I am sure right now there are a couple of 18-year-olds in a garage somewhere figuring out something which is going to change everything we know. Just like everything that has happened, there have been 18-year-olds in their garages for the past 50 years. There are going to be more changes. And the idea that it cannot happen - no. Anything can happen and many things will happen." - in Wall St Daily

If You Are Happy, Not Much Else Matters In Life

"Being happy, that's the main thing I'm trying to help with. If you're happy, not much else matters in life, at least in my experience. There's various ways to be happy, of course. I'm trying to tell people the things that I have learned. I'm trying to teach them to be curious, independent. It's very hard to think independently, as you probably know. Extremely hard. Most people are not very curious, If they see it on TV, that's what they accept instead of thinking, what's really going on here? I'm teaching readers to be curious, skeptical, independent thinkers." - in BI

Whenever An Industry Gets Hot, Everybody Tries To Figure Out How To Get To Be The Richest

"Whenever an industry gets hot, everybody tries to figure out how to get to be the richest. If it`s real estate, they figure out a way to leverage themselves to the full. If shipping is hot, they go and buy tankers, but they don`t put any money at all; they figure out a way to do a deal. They leverage themselves to the hilt; that`s the way to get the richest the fastest. It`s also the sign of the topping in shipping, or real estate, or wheat, or whatever it happens to be." - in Trading The World`s Markets
