Sort of a New Year Insight

MJG
in Off-Topic
Hi Guys,

I'm sure you all have grown weary of the investment advice that a key to success is persistence. I'm surely guilty of advocating that tiresome attribute. However, that's not always a winning strategy component.

So, as a New Year's reflection, allow me to offer this bit of wisdom I recently learned from an old war buddy:

If at first you don't succeed, positively avoid sky-diving.

Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    I actually read your entire comment...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year insight: Keep it simple...and short.

    Hopefully, I will continue to enjoy your succinctness this New Year.

    Disclosure: We are all guilty of "word-less-ness".
