"Markets are made up of people, with all their faults and foibles. And because people can't divine the future, then guesses, hunches, feelings and emotions enter the equation. That's why markets tend to overreact both on the upside and downside."

From Is Kohl's Full of Hot Air?, by Arne Alsin

"Today's information flow is the best and most efficient in the history of Wall Street. The playing field is as level as it has ever been with respect to information. But it's not the access to or possession of information that is important: It's how investors process the information that separates the winners from the losers."

From Keys to Successful Investing, by Arne Alsin

"If you want to be a great investor, you have to avoid the big mistakes. ... Capital is too dear, too difficult to acquire in the first place to needlessly squander it in the markets because of avoidable mistakes."
