In the final analysis there is no solution to man’s progress but the day’s honest work, the day’s honest decisions, the day’s generous utterances and the day’s good deed.

“First, quit talking about what might happen. It isn’t good to keep guessing what the market will do. Deal with what the market is doing, not what it might do.”

  1. Not exactly sure what is required here, but going off of the quote I think everyone bases the markets based on an emotion of what they subconsciously hope for. Current numbers take all emotions out of anything. Numbers do not lie.
