History

"The Great Inflation of the 1970s destroyed faith in paper assets, because if you held a bond, suddenly the bond was worth much less money than it was before."

Faith

Historical Figure

"Writing about dead white males seems to be out of favor among academics."

Writing

"Mutual fund managers are trapped in this rather deadly vicious circle: the more successful they are, the more money flows into their mutual fund. Then, it is more difficult for them to beat the market averages or even to match their own past performance."

Money

"Mutual funds have historically offered safety and diversification. And they spare you the responsibility of picking individual stocks."

Responsibility

"The American public historically was really not part of the stock market."

History

"Early on, New York already had a national and even international identity."

Identity

"You don't want too much fear in a market, because people will be blinded to some very good buying opportunities. You don't want too much complacency because people will be blinded to some risk."

People

"Once the brokerage house, rather than the bank, became the locus for American savings, that money would find its way into the stock market, because the broker was someone with a much higher tolerance for risk than the banker."
