With 2023 well underway, we can put 2022 into clear perspective and move on knowing that efficient implementation of investment strategy means we don’t have to try and outguess markets, we simply have to access and participate in them.
David Booth has taken the time demonstrate just this in attached piece “2 Forward 1 Back”. It’s a must read!
Of all the great events in our area this time of year, it’s the car shows that Sophia and I get the most excited about. All makes, models and ages appeal to us. I’m not sure if being a car enthusiast is in the genes but it may be. My mother, Bettye, loved race cars and years ago spent quite a bit of time with the Petty family. Growing up in Hawaii meant not owning a vehicle as public transportation is just easier in Honolulu but I bought my first car early upon arriving on the mainland. Sophia grew up attending Barrett-Jackson, Mecum auctions and all the weekend shows throughout Arizona. She recently joined the Mazda MX5 ride club and is taking driving courses from Radford Racing soon and so. . . the tradition continues.
