The Procrastinator’s Creed:
1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.

A lot of people have been waiting for a correction for some time. Sure, the markets look stretched and a correction looks imminent. However, corrections will not happen just because we want it to happen.
I have also observed that corrections seldom happen when so many participants are eagerly waiting for them to happen.
In fact, tired of waiting, some global fund managers have started deploying their funds. If a fund manager is sitting on billions of dollars of cash delivering negligible returns, whereas the market is running away and other funds are performing well, would you expect him to be patient enough to wait for an extended period of time?

Warren Buffett was born in Omaha , Nebraska . At an early age Buffett was known to have an extremely good sense of the business world. As a youngster, he read every book on business, the stock market, and economics, in the whole Omaha public library. At age 11, he began working at his father’s brokerage firm where he was able to have for the first time in his life direct access to financial markets. That year, he bought his first stock. He bought Cities Services for roughly 38 dollars a share. The stock moved upwards about 5% and he sold for a quick profit. At that time, Buffett learned his first real lesson in the stock market which was to hold onto a company until it reached its intrinsic value and later in life would adopt the strategy to buy and never sell which he frequently employs today. This has been commonly now referred to as the "Buy and Hold" method.
