The best investment ever

Me!

This post is more of a personal note. Today, September 12, 2007, I have decided to increase my position on the best investment ever. For the past year, I have been restructuring my capital allocation and accumulating shares of knowledge. There has been a lack of intelligence on my part when it came to allocating all of my resources. I am guilty of wasting too much time online, trying to learn finance on the go, and in a battle of whether I am an active trader or an investor. My portfolio today is in a great place to grow for the next two quarters without me having to login and trade every week. My past performance has shown me that an active trading strategy yields the same results as a passive medium-term buy and hold strategy, therefore I am going to just monitor my investments in order to keep in control, but I will not be hunting stocks up and down every day. I believe that the best investment I can make today is to log off the internets completely and read at least 2 to 3 hours per day. I have armed myself with an excellent collection of books (from Amazon and the UTSA Library) and will be spending my "free-time" with them. I am now a true student of finance.

I am very happy that I have been able to identify my goals and that I am now completely focused on what will get me there. Goodbye Facebook, adios Perez. My life plan calls for an aggressive strategy and I will work very hard to become who I want to be. As in the stock market, I have the advantage that time is on my side for this life quest and I will not waste another minute of my life on useless stuff. Let it be known that Sergio Silva has arrived.
