New Investment Advice :o)

You know, I could be wrong, but my assumption was that everyone here joined the Warrior Forum to learn how to make money. My point in posting here was not to brag, because there are certainly many here who are even much more successful than I have been. Rather, to attempt to show there is a way to make money no matter what the economic conditions may be. It seems there is an unhealthy attitude that making money is somehow wrong, and being poor is a noble condition of existence. This attitude is spreading like a cancer, but there is no valid reason why this has to be so. These are trying times of course, but the nightmare actually is that we have had it so good for so long that we have not developed the tools to cope with adversity. Those who are able to remain strong in these times will rise above the crumbled masses of easy living gone bad.

Money in and of itself is neither good nor bad. It is a tool that can be used for enriching the human condition and the enobling incentive for achievement, innovation, growth, and future prosperity of generations to come. For someone to say others should only have a certain amount of money and no more is to destroy the spirit of enterprise that drives achievement and hope.

Now then, no - $25 million is not anywhere nearly enough for me to do what I want to accomplish. Neither is the billions that Warren Buffet has is enough. Growth is healthy, prosperity is good. Success is measured by the goals you set and the achievement of your goals. I am very blessed, but I have not yet achieved success because my ambitious goals have not been reached.

By the way, some of you may be glad to hear that Warren Buffet lost millions on his recent investments in General Electric. But, as an 80-something man of vision, he is firm in the belief in the very near return on that investment.

Thanks espacecadet, your sig really summarizes it all.

Work hard, save, start your business, invest in your business, save more, invest wisely in the financial markets. That formula works the same in every economic condition.
