"At one time when I was a bit younger I thought I could trade myself to riches. It didn't work out quite that way. I had to resort to compounding or taking a very occasional big position. Over recent years I've taken a very big position in gold, and even that hasn't been easy. But I've had faith in gold. I had faith in gold back in the '70s, and I'll let you in on a secret – I have even more faith in gold today."

– Richard Russell's Dow Theory Letters
