我所喜欢的利弗莫尔一句名言

利弗莫尔白手起家，高峰时持有纽约证券交易所所有上市公司市值的1%，是公认的最成功的交易人，没有之一。

利弗莫尔说要赚大钱只能靠“少动”或者说无为而治。这3周我只做了1笔。

“在华尔街度过多年, 赚过亏过之后，我想告诉你这一点：从来都不是我的想法为我赚大钱。为我赚大钱的，是我的等待。知道吗？等待！

他补充说：“完全正确地投放市场并不是一件容易的事。” “我知道很多[交易员]在正确的时机是正确的，并在价格处于应该显示最大利润的水平时开始买卖股票。他们的经验始终与我的经验一样；就是说，他们没有从中赚钱。 [交易员]既可以判市正确又可以等待的很少见。我发现它是最难学习的东西之一。但是只有在股票操作员牢牢掌握了这一点之后，他才能赚大钱。”

“After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: it never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!

“It is no trick at all to be right on the market,” he adds. “I’ve known many [traders] who were right at exactly the right time, and began buying or selling stocks when prices were at the very level that should show the greatest profit. And their experience invariably matched mine; that is, they made no real money out of it. [Traders] who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn. But it is only after a stock operator has firmly grasped this that he can make the big money.”

Finding the correct stock and holding onto it is very hard. One's emotion is hard to control. When one sees it drop, one wants to sell. When one sees it rise, one wants to buy.
