- I am an investor–I do not trade my investments frequently.
- I am also a saver–I routinely invest each month using my savings.
- I know every asset has risk and I consider the risk before buying. I accept the risk by owning a diversity of assets.
- I have an investment plan and plan for allocation.
- I invest regular amounts each month in both falling and rising markets.
- I spread out my investments among stocks and bonds.
- My share of bonds equals my age.
- I rebalance once a quarter.
- I know that stocks are risky in the short run but not so risky in the long run.
- I force myself to sell high and buy low. Patience is the key here.
- I put at least 20 percent in international assets.
- I stick to my plan and try not to check my stock balances every day (this one is not easy).
- I try to remember the words of Warren Buffet –” I am greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.”

Fly Clear is a service all travelers should consider
I highly recommend a service called Fly Clear if you fly a lot. It will save you at least 30 minutes each time you fly. Basically you no longer have to wait in a security line. What you do is apply–as part of the application process they will ask all sorts of info about you and you will need to give finger prints (which can be done in the airport at one of their stands) so they can identify you. Once you are approved there is a special line only for clear members ( you will provide your card and they will scan your fingerprints)–every time I have used Clear there has never been even 1 person in line ahead of me. They have locations now all over the USA. There is a link to the site below and please use the refer-a friend code this gives you a complimentary month of membership.
