To our clients and friends:
In investing—unlike football, hockey or other “fast” sports—the turtle usually wins the race against the hare. We all know of the quarterback who garners the most accolades for “quick decision-making”. We’ve all heard the Wayne Gretzky quote of “skating to where the puck is going to be, not where it is now”. However, investing is quite the opposite. As many of you know, the core philosophy of our firm is that there is never a reason to rush into buying or selling any investment. Instead, we recommend a different approach: 1) plan ahead; 2) employ a strategy; and 3) remain flexible in your analysis and portfolio positioning. These three keys are critical to building wealth and achieving one’s objective.
We all recognize that Sophocles was correct—it’s best to “stick with the plan” and never let panic or fear, greed or euphoria drive your investment strategy. But sometimes a lack of discipline throws us off course, and we make the wrong decision.</
