Thank you for this reminder. I printed it out and have it hanging on my wall. Just remember to pay attention daily. I too have a friend that is down 35% in his portfolio and he didn’t have to be. I referred him to your company.

“3. Think contrarily”… Michael Cintolo. And another great investor said: “Be fearful when others are greedy, be greedy when others are fearful”… Warren Buffet.

“4. Most important…watch your portfolio”… What excellent advice. I fiddled while Rome burned, (the Financial sector). I had a pretty good position in C, and I failed to “watch”. When I woke up I had lost nearly 30%.
Sorry to learn about your father-in-law and GM.
My wife has a similar story from her employer of 25 years here in California. A sign of the times I guess.
