Not words I live by because I am "Living the American Dream" but damn they make a lot of sense. Hardest discipline is taking that 300-500 cash and not spending it. No boats, RV's, ATV's or nasty Coke habits.
Good idea and one I could probably manage....but I'm the saver of the family and my wifes the spender.The only problem is she out spends what I can save.

I'll give you a tip:

There are no tips. If I have a legitimate tip, then I'm an insider and it would be unlawful for me to share my inside knowledge. However, if I'm not an insider and I claim to have a tip, then I have something to gain from the sentiment I create from my tip. Hence, there are no legitimate insider tips.

If there are no legitimate insider tips, and any tips that are shared somehow benefit the tipster, then it is best to ask the tipster why they hold their view so that you can evaluate the tip from the perspective of their context.

Anyway, financial planners sell products, where as the traders make the markets. A financial planner takes his or her cues from market research which may or may not be based on how traders are positioned. This happens because a firm may be primarily a buy or sell side firm and the market has taken the opposition position (pros look at trajectory and direction, not so much timing—i.e., the trend is your friend until it bends at the end). Most retail firms are buy side (buy and hold) and the financial planner earns his keep as a percentage of money under management, percentage of profit, by commission or some combination.

You're a Compliance Officer aren't you?

Just a friendly question. If only the moguls on the street couldn't get away with bucking the regulations.

But, I would rather not lose thousands on interest. That's my opinion. The only interest I like is the interest that pays me. Write one check and be done with it. I like owning things outright. Platniums and Harley Davidison packages never appealed to me. I want something I can throw the dogs in and go hunting in. More of my upbringing and how I was raised I guess simplicity and functionality over luxury and items you don't need.

Nope. I run a closed fund.
