Of course next year I have to throw foreign earnings into the mix, which will be even more of a mess. This will go a long way to curb this accounting scandals. Investing in sports cards and collecting sports memorabilia can offer a great way to relax and something to take your mind off of the daily rat race. Real estate is a very local business and since I’ve written repeatedly about the horrors of hiring a property management company, you HAVE to be local to take care of business. Marketing can be a valuable part of real estate information, and while I find direct mail to be a bit crass it obviously works for everyone from political candidates to credit card companies. I enjoy high level intellectual discussions that can help me understand the truth of matters, how the world works and how to strategize solutions if there are any at all.

I’ve set some high expectations. In fact it is much, much, much more important to have a good position management framework (as discussed in my first book) and to trade a diversified set of instruments. A few years back, I came across a book at the book store in the financial section. She came into the relationship with no debt and excellent credit expecting stability and married into a financial storm without really knowing it. After she got married one of her friends was proposed to and told my sister that she and her fiance were attending some pre-martial counseling.

It would mean that governments would lose the ability to tax transactions, and all countries would end up as anarcho-techno states with a ridiculously uneven distribution of wealth. Any person who is disappointed in their marriage because the wealth isn’t as great as they thought it would be is simply a fool to begin with. He finds tenants, calls repair guys, builds relationships with the people who give us money, all that sort of thing. As a real estate investor AND a new husband, let me give you some general advice about how to reconcile the two.

Biff (who, by the way, was the best man at my wedding) takes care of all the local issues. At some point in the future, it’s likely that Biff will get a job offer in another town, or he’ll move to be closer to family, or he’ll just get the itch to be somewhere else. If you use a brokerage, you will more than likely be charged a commission fee. If that does occur, our current portfolio will almost certainly be liquidated. We may continue investing where ever he relocates to, but we’ll be unable to maintain our current houses. Maybe he/she doesn’t have the knack for investing/landlording and couldn’t run your company for the next 10 years, but does your spouse know what houses you own, how many and where they are? It’s hard to tell what the revenue model is as well and how scalable that is for a company the size of Graham?

And as good investors, they make sure that their investments are placed in a position to be well handled should ill tidings befall them. The good investors I’ve met don’t invest to impress people and woo women, they do it for future security and, sometimes, for fun.
