“Invest for the long haul. Don’t get too greedy and don’t get too scared."


― Shelby M.C. Davis


Greed is a historically bad word in our vernacular, but a reasonable level of greed is what drives the market. People invest because they want to make money. They aren't necessarily concerned about other people making money as well. So, in that sense, trading is greedy.
