My thoughts
on random topics
Investments
This is to me an intellectual exercise. The amount of money doesn't
matter, only the percentage count. Therefore, I will worry about
a 2k investment as much as a 60k investment. I suppose this has something
to do with my determination to win. oh, as consequence of this,
I usually try to make my investment as big as I can since I'm going to
worry about it anyway :)
Well, I choose companies in a couple of ways. One,
by fundamental values, ratios. Two, that companies make products
that I understand and enjoy.
Well, my long range goal is to make enough money to enable me and my
loved ones travel to interesting places at our choosing through investment
income. Why investments ? I think investment is the only area
where you don't have to answer to any bosses or customers, except yourself
and maybe your spouse.
