Wealth quote of the day by Paul Samuelson: “Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas.” Paul Samuelson’s Nobel-winning logic proves that boring strategies create peak wealth. Most active traders fail to beat simple market averages over time. Samuelson understood that the human brain is wired for the dopamine hit of a "big win," but the global economy rewards patience over adrenaline. By comparing wealth accumulation to the slow growth of nature, he challenged the high-octane culture of Wall Street.
