 "A 401 (k) plan sponsor does not call participants with tips about short-run investment opportunities, and statements about portfolio value are mailed out only infrequently. The participant cannot check his or her portfolio value every day in the newspaper. This longer-term thinking may boost stock market valuations by diverting investors from preoccupation with short-term fluctuations.
Encouraging longer-term thinking among investors is probably, all in all, a good thing."- Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

 "Stay-at-home mothers watched the cheery announcers on CNBC, the financial cable channel, keeping track of hot investment opportunities while hurrying their children off to school.

Many start-up companies, with little more than a business plan of how they would make money through the Internet, saw their share prices rise by twenty to thirty times, even though they had never recorded a profit."- Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) |
 "Qi Ye of Tsinghua University told me he has been traveling often to London and Frankfurt to drum up investment opportunities in the carbon-offset markets there, apparently to great effect. Billions in European investments are being steered into China at those exchanges, where companies based in the Kyoto signatory countries buy and sell pollution credits, in order to meet the goals of reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by 2012."- Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.) |
 "The release had been sent to her office at the Spokesman-Review in Spokane in Washington state by an investment firm in New York—demonstrating the close connection between medicine and the marketplace where "diseases" are seen as investment opportunities.
