Selected Quotes

· “Don’t confuse brains with a bull market. Some people now consider themselves stock market experts because they made 20 percent return on their stocks the prior year, when in fact everybody made 20 percent, and the market as a whole went up 25 percent.”

-Thorley & McQeen

· “Buy and hold stocks if you have a long investment horizon, and take advantage of tax-favored investment plans, such as 401Ks, regular IRAs, or ROTH IRAs. We know how to do well in the stock market. You buy in a well-diversified mutual fund, and you sit on it for 20 years.”

-Thorley & McQeen

· “Believe, my brothers and sisters, in yourself as a child of God. ‘I Am a Child of God.’ What a wondrous concept that is! ‘I am a Child of God and He has sent me here.’ What a marvelous thing. We ought to stand tall. We ought to be better. We ought to get our weaknesses behind us and live up to our tremendous birthright a little more effectively and well.

-Gordon B. Hinkley
