Of Plain Fools And Wall Street Fools
“There is a time for all things, but I didn’t know it. And that is precisely what beats so many men in Wall Street who are very far from being in the main sucker class. There is the plain fool, who does the wrong thing at all times everywhere, but there is the Wall Street fool, who thinks he must trade all the time. Not many can always have adequate reasons for buying and selling stocks daily – or sufficient knowledge to make his play an intelligent play.” – Jessie Livermore

It was the sadly departed Loews Chairman, Larry Tisch, who told me early on in my career, “forget what they tell you; just look at the numbers.” I then point to what the Federal Reserve Bank is doing. As of July 31, 2013 they have parked $1,157 billion in foreign banks as compared with $1,112 billion in U.S. banks. To me this is a telling sign. The European banks are in trouble and the Fed is propping them up. One of the consequences of tapering, when it comes, may well be less available cash for this task and then the cracks in the European banks may well blow into gaping holes.
“The game does not change and neither does human nature.” -Jessie Livermore, Reminiscences
