“As I struggle to maintain the tranquility and perspective of long-term investing, which has been a bit shaken by recent actions in
the stock market, I hope you too can maintain the belief that ‘this too shall pass away.’ Life is pain and suffering as well as joy and triumph, but not necessarily in equal amounts. I think there
are many who believe life is a hard struggle with intermittent periods of relief, while others believe that life is generally good
with intermittent moments of trauma and darkness. Let us belong to the positive, optimistic class and not let the plethora of
seemingly negative events, in the stock market and elsewhere, shake our faith in the good we now have.”
—Al Frank
