The Securities Market Exists to Find Human Weaknesses

“The securities market exists almost to find human weaknesses — dishonesty, conceit, impatience, and muddled thinking. Without a rational and honest approach to life, you will be destroyed by the financial markets at some point in your career. Financial markets are practically designed to attack the weaknesses of human nature.”

“证券市场的存在几乎就是为了找到人的弱点，人的不诚实，自命不凡，急躁而又糊涂的观点。如果不具备理性诚实的人生态度，那么你在职业生涯中的某个时候会被金融市场摧毁。金融市场几乎就是为攻击人性的弱点而设计的。”
