Quote for the Week 

“True believers make the most money in manias, and skeptics lose the least when they crash. But the key to the investment success we aim for lies in always maintaining a healthy balance between belief and doubt. As Charlie Munger used to say, quoting the ancient philosopher Demosthenes, ‘For that which a man wishes, that he will believe.’ Most people dream of getting rich and are willing to trust when promised a way to do so without risk. But the new thing rarely pays off as expected, especially if invested in unskeptically while it’s raging.” —Howard Marks
