Some light-hearted investment thoughts for those pondering their investment strategies:

• There are many millionaires on Wall Street, not all of whom started out as multimillionaires
• The trouble with statistical analysis is that the first seven kings of England named Henry had an average of 1.3 wives
• Growth will bail you out - if you live long enough
• Two things cause a stock to move - the expected and the unexpected
• You never understand a stock until you are long (or short)
• Half your portfolio is cyclic, but you don't know which half
• If the industry leader is overvalued, don't buy the dogs
• You can be 200% wrong when you switch
• A guy who likes a stock but doesn't own it has no right to an opinion
• A stock well bought is a stock half sold
• The market is a random walk up a 11.8% grade
• Price is a fundamental - it's the only thing you know for sure about a stock
• There are no defensive stocks
• Don't bet on a sure thing unless you can afford to lose
• You will never make a profit investing with scared money

Sell down to your sleep point
