- Paul Getty

About this Quote

This quote by Paul Getty is a pointer that the stock exchange is an unpredictable and volatile entity. It is a suggestion that even if a business has control over its operations, it does not have the ability to control the price of its stock. This is due to the fact that the stock market is driven by a range of aspects, such as investor sentiment, economic conditions, and market patterns. Therefore, even if a business is doing well, its stock rate may not show that. Likewise, even if a business is struggling, its stock price might not show that either. This quote is a pointer that the stock exchange is unpredictable which nobody can control the price of a stock.
