Investing Quote by Robert J. Samuelson

“When you become 70, you can't deny that you're on the downhill. But I keep doing what I've been doing. If I retired, what would I do? I'd brood about my kids and I'd play around with my investments, which would probably cost me.” quote by Robert J. Samuelson
