some wise words from a very wise man

i had the fortune to listen to a very wise man yesterday... some quotable quotes but alas off record...

"The Americans always want us to be transparent. But what they actually mean is that they want to see you naked so that they can screw you."

"Investing is like watching the tides. When the tides are low, the gems will sink to the bottom. When tides are high, even rubbish floats to the top. So buy when the tide is out. Even if you bought rubbish, you'll still be able to make some money when the tide comes up again."
