money years yesterday
It seems like only yesterday that savers were dorks. They kept piggy banks. They drove last year's cars. They fished in their change purses for nickels while the superstars flashed credit cards. Today, values have changed. The new object of veneration is not money on the hoof but money in the bank - and the dorks all have it.

Everyone needs a small-town banker. Especially in a big town.

money average years
Quinn's First Law of Investing is never to buy anything whose price you can't follow in the newspapers. An investment without a public marketplace attracts the fabulists the way picnics attract ants. Stock brokers and financial planners can tell you anything they want, because no one really knows what's true. The First Corollary to Quinn's First Law states that, even when the price is in the newspapers, you shouldn't buy anything too complex to explain to the average 12-year-old.

It's a fact: stock investors sometimes lose money on their way to wealth. Get over it.
real tickets forget
Stock prices aren't real things. They're just froth on a wave. The wave is the only real thing, which investors forget when they're watching the ticket slither by.
debt minus security
You normally don't get a margin call unless your securities, minus the debt, are worth 30% or less of their nominal market value.
choices would-be financial
Financial planners who take commissions have a built-in conflict of interest...even with disclosure, my choice would be a Fee-Only planner.
needs
You get the most out of what you need the least.
looks function chiefs
The chief function of stock-market forecasters is to make astrologers look respectable.
real estates said
Everyone said, 'You can't lose money in real estate, because they're not making any more of it.' Hmmmm. Where did everyone go wrong?
