Thought to sum up the month<\/h3>\n

Howard Marks, chairman of the U.S. investment firm Oaktree Capital:<\/p>\n

There actually are two risks in investing: One is to lose money and the other is to miss opportunity. You can eliminate either one, but you can\u2019t eliminate both at the same time. <\/p>\n

I think of it like a comedy movie where a guy is considering some activity. On his right shoulder is sitting an angel in a white robe. He says: \u00abNo, don\u2019t do it! It\u2019s not prudent, it\u2019s not a good idea, it\u2019s not proper and you\u2019ll get in trouble\u00bb. On the other shoulder is the devil in a red robe with his pitchfork. He whispers: \u00abDo it, you\u2019ll get rich\u00bb. In the end, the devil usually wins. Caution, maturity and doing the right thing are old-fashioned ideas. <\/p>\n
