Investment Offices of Stephen O Meidahl

"Money is not made so much in the up markets, but by not losing it in the down markets. The first rule of prudent investing is 'just don't lose it'. That is why people pay me to do nothing when nothing is the right thing to do. Panic is one of the biggest reasons people fail to invest wisely."

From Lessons of a Real Life Investment Advisor
