I love where John Kirkland says:
"As investors, everything is always our fault. The company does not meet its numbers, does not make its filings, does not do anything they promised, that is all our fault. Particularly to floundering management or Internet trolls looking for someone to blame for their own bad decisions.
Conversely when, as a result of our investment, the company is able to succeed, we never seem to get much of the credit. But that is alright, we still get the return."
