"The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent"


Please go learn what this quote actually means (hint: it refers to speculation, not consumption).


I know what this quote refers to (and it's not particularly kind of you to suggest I don't, if I may say). I meant to point out that engaging in "rational" behaviour when it comes to hiring in a market you perceive as behaving irrationally is no guarantee of becoming rich any more than engaging in "rational" behaviour when it comes to speculation.
