Financial quotes for the week

Published: 08/07/2026

"Nobody rings a bell at the top of a market. Sadly, that would be too easy. Although, given current trends in modern finance, if they did someone would no doubt securitise the bell, lever it three times, and launch an ETF. But after a few market cycles, you do start to notice small behavioural tells. Not forecasts. Not sell signals. Just moments when the crowd seems to be getting rather excited."

Dan Brocklebank, UK Head of Orbis.

"Choosing individual stocks without any idea of what you're looking for is like running through a dynamite factory with a burning match. You may live, but you're still an idiot."

Joel Greenblatt, American investor and financial author.

"Europe currently looks like a stranded fish. It doesn’t quite know how to deal with current policy, or the strong-man rule from the likes of US or China."

Lord Mark Malloch Brown, British diplomat, journalist and former politician.

"Hierarchy is the enemy of intellectual honesty."

Brian McCormick, portfolio manager at Jupiter Asset Management.
