"Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." -- Keynes

I agree with the sentiment, but the quote is misattributed. It was probably first said by Gary Shilling, a writer for Forbes, in 1993: http://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/08/09/remain-solvent/

Wow. Funny how these things take on a life of their own. A lot of people now think Keynes said that.
