Quotable Quote

The speculator George Soros, when making a financial bet, keeps looking for instances that would prove his initial theory wrong. This, perhaps, is true self-confidence: the ability to look at the world without the need to find signs that stroke one's ego.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan

Couldn't agree more. Usually in setting up my trades, I look for reasons NOT to take up any position. I learn the hard way that emotions is our biggest enemy in trading, and we tend to look for the good signs when we think we found a good stock.
