Enough lamenting over the decline of the West, for the West does not buy you new Ferraris. I hope you little bastards appreciate the fortunate position you are in, with money invested smartly in the stock market.
Growing up, Grandpa Fly ran two furniture businesses and was ignorant about the stock market. He spent his money like it was burning his face off. He had several cars, lots of “fancy clothes,” jewelry and lots of high powered friends. He was very active in a Brooklyn political machine, which produced Chucky Schumer from nothing to U.S. Senate.
He went to dinner with the Rockefellers, did business with the Progressos, and eventually lost it all.
He didn’t lose it all because he was incompetent or through bad business dealings. One day in 1983 he woke up blind. The blood vessels in his eyes burst, due to high blood pressure, and that was that. He made furniture and refinished it; so he was of little use without the luxury of vision.
For the next 14 years, until his death, he lamented to me about being “stupid” for losing it all. He was a proud man his whole life, oozing with confidence. He did stand up comedy routines on the side for the Army, during WW2. Then his own personalized Black Swan event took that (confidence) away too, through poverty.
I learned a lot from his plights, specifically about the importance of money and what it means. Contrary to what idiots says, money is EVERYTHING. Without it, your marriage is over. Your happiness is limited. And, your legacy is nil.
The stock market gives you pikers a chance to leverage your bullshit 250k income into something significant, over time. My life is dedicated to making people money. I’ve turned 100k into a million. I’ve taken 500k and transformed it into 1.5 mill over 3 years. Hell, I took a flimsy blogspot site and transformed it into a million dollar enterprise, without spending a single dime of my own, or anyone else’s, money.
I make Kings out of ordinary people, through the gift of positioning and intuition.
Never take what you have for granted. And never be satisfied with what you have. What we have going on here, through PPT, PDS, 12631 and Scotty Bleier will get you there, if you commit yourself to the process. The process exudes success; you just need to want it bad enough.
