Reminiscences of a Stock Operator quote of the day:. Disregarding the big swing and trying to jump in and out was fatal to me. Nobody can catch all the fluctuations. In a bull market your game is to buy and hold until you believe that the bull market is near its end.

Wyckoff: Subscribers to The Magazine frequently write me and explain that they are far removed from the market and ask whether they had not better come to New York or go to Chicago so as to be in “close touch with things.” Very often this “closeness” is a handicap. One’s real.
