Hey Robin,
I like that quote from J.P Getty. He is one of my idol whom I admire a lot. HE is the real deal man! I read his book, and I like it a lot.
What he wrote then is still very much applicable now.
Cheers,

“When buying shares, ask yourself, would you buy the whole company?”
Very smart thinking. I like the Garth Brooks quote too. Some things are much more important.

Hi Shane,
I like that one about “would you buy the whole company”, supposedly an amusing quote but makes a lot of sense.
Take care and Cheers.
