Investing

~ Gottfried

Investing is a journey of self discovery. It reveals your relationship with money, tolerance for risk, and ability to stay disciplined in the face of uncertainty. Successful investing is about managing risk not avoiding it. Money isn’t everything but it sure keeps people in touch. 

In investing, what is comfortable is rarely profitable. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, until you lose. In any investment, you expect to have fun and make money. If you win, you make money. If you lose, at least you get to have some fun whilst losing your hard earned money. 

The stock market is the place where the patient make money from the impatient. One funny thing about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells, and both think they are astute. And they’re both wrong because you exist, without any stocks. 

There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies. You would be surprised how you can drastically lower the crime rate of an area by ensuring all the children are fed properly with protein options. Kwashiorkor leads to cultism and stealing. 

At a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts. Go for a business shy idiot can run because sooner or later, any idiot is probably going to run it. Work hard, ensure and do everything in your power to be the first idiot to do it. 

You’ll understand why they call it an “untapped market”.

    Multi-Millions still on Paper

    Yet Never Enough Emotional
    Intelligence to Prove He was

    of Poor Soul wanna be Rich Dad

    Rich Soul Poor Mom

    Who Would Win Out out
    With a Story that Worked
    and Played Well for me is there

    Any escape from the Matrix of Money
    The Story the Illusion the Master Humans
    Create Perfectly encapsulated these days

    for the Pitfalls of that in One Painted Orange
    And Strange Blonde Colored Life Style oh what

    than him at age 47 i was too kind

  6. I like the idea that investing reveals something about ourselves, not just our relationship with money. Risk, patience, discipline, ambition they tend to show up in more areas of life than we expect. Perhaps the most interesting investment is the one that changes how we think about the game itself. 🙂
