Marc Faber said if you had made just a few decisions in the last 25 years; Japan in the '80's, the U.S. in the '90's, commodities in the '00's you could have almost gone on autopilot in your investments and spent your limited time on this earth, well, living.

Shakespeare also said: “When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain” (good link)
