"Going anywhere for the holidays?"
"Yes, upstate."
"Plane or car?"
"Oh Jesus no! Train."
"How long will that take?"
"9 hours. But my vacation starts when I get on the train, not when I get off the plane. It's much less stressful."
"You know... I can see that..."
Folks, I may have a made a convert today. Let's be real. Driving is work, and flying is torture. A train ride, might seem "long" but did you count all the time you spend getting to the airport, the security checks? The silly rules?
Almost no one knows this, but last June, a 90-car train got away from its crew in #Hernando, MO, rolling three miles through two public crossings, a ghost train that included 47 potentially explosive propane cars. The #BombTrain neither crashed nor derailed, which meant that #GrenadaRailroad/#GulfAndAtantic didn't have to report it.

When you set out to create an investment plan, think balance before you think of any other detail. A well-balanced portfolio is not a timid portfolio. The whole point of creating a balanced portfolio is to give yourself the opportunity to gain the maximum amount of money, not the bare minimum. Always keep in mind that you’re looking for long-term success based on a steady diet of profits.
#First of #all, it's #good to #know what type of #investor I am. I can #focus on quick #profits and then follow #trends without considering the distant #future, or I can invest for the future. In the latter case, I am basically uninterested in current trends and only focus on what I think will make a lot of sense in the future. So in both cases I will choose completely #different instruments or entities.
