(Redefining Investment Strategy Education) Forum Dayton, Ohio, March 26, 2009 ; \"Here is a take-home quote from Charles Mackay's classic tome \"Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds\", written in 1841: 'Men think in herds...[and] they go mad in herds.' Just as the astute investor should have resisted joining the thundering herd's mad euphoria, I suggest you resist joining in the current stampede of despair.\"
