As I've told my three daughters, all of whom I've at one time encouraged to go into macro trading, any man or woman can do anything to which they set their heart and mind.

I believe that great success is possible in any field - from music to mathematics to macro trading.

We have ripped the humanity out of our companies. It’s threatening the very underpinnings of our society.

If life ever ceased to be an educational experience. I probably wouldn’t get out of bed in the morning.

There’s such an emphasis on making money that we’ve really taken the humanity out of business.

The concept of paying one-hundred-and-something times earnings for any company for me is just anathema. Having said that, at the end of the day, your job is to buy what goes up and to sell what goes down so really who gives a damn about PE’s?

There is no training, classroom or otherwise, that can prepare for trading the last third of a move, whether it’s the end of a bull market or the end of a bear market.

It is not that we had any unfair knowledge that other people didn’t have, it is just that we did our homework. People just don’t want to believe that anyone can break away from the crowd and rise above mediocrity.

You can not have significance in this life if it is all about you. You get your significance, you find your joy in life through service and sacrifice – it’s pure and simple.

I believe that great success is possible in any field – from music to mathematics to macro trading.
