Investing 102

[GregWeld]

Good post Frank... and the part I like the best is that you understand that everyone has differences. So ideas are just that... ideas -- and they can be
modified... used in part or in whole etc.

Doing what someone understands and has intimate knowledge of - to me - is the best way to invest. They see and understand the pitfalls. They have a better sense of changes - good or bad etc.

The main part of this entire thread is just to get going and do SOMETHING - save - invest - start early. Make your own "luck".

I like your statment about making your own luck.

I was speaking to a physician client of mine yesterday and he was talking about how lucky he is to have his position. Then he started talking about all the training, meetings, interviews, and decisions he made over the years.

I went on to tell him luck likely had some play but a majority of his luck was self made. You don't get lucky being a couch potato.

If you want things to change, YOU must change. Whether it's you skill set, education, health, relationships, finances, whatever....
