Strong pricing power

Only the heart can find love

Don’t ignore your heart

Over to You:

When you say so little yet mean so much the Haiku is complete. The same applies to investing, the premise behind true wealth doesn’t have to be a complex algorithm or formula. In in Chapter 20 of my book, The Philosophical Investor – Transforming Wisdom into Wealth, I defined what makes someone wealthy as:

An individual possesses wealth if he or she has the wisdom to avoid catastrophic errors, the hunger to look within to correct and grow from mistakes, the resources (financial, physical, and emotional) to recover from setbacks, and the courage to seize opportunity, and through it all is able to experience life with love, compassion, joy, and wonder.

Any questions?
