One of the best books ever written on investment success is, “The Holy Grail of Investing,” by Tony Robbins (Simon & Schuster, NY, NY, 2024). Whether you are 18 or 86, if you have any interest at all in finance or investing, this book should be your primary source of information.
Why?

Because for almost 200 pages in part 2 of the book, you will be the silent participant (or fly on the wall, if you wish) while the author interviews, in depth, 12 tycoons of our time, most of whom came from nothing, and all of whom have truly arrived. And you, my friend, will surely benefit, both in the short and long run of your lifetime!
It’s a smorgasboard, a cornucopia for whatever your financial appetite desires, whether it is enterprise software, working with government contracts, energy, Asian markets, pro sports, real estate, and more and more and more... all presented in easily understood plain English.
As he says in part 1, because of his phenomenal success as a self-help guru, Mr. Robbins had ‘access’ to these successful individuals, and boy oh boy, did he maximize that advantage to its fullest potential. You’ll be treated to tip after tip of what he learned from the geniuses he interviews, such as Paul Tudor Jones, who will only place trades when he concludes that the risk/reward ratio is 5 to 1, that is, he will risk $1 through diversification in stocks, bonds, private equity, real estate, etc., thus enabling him to lose in a few categories but make money overall from his combined choices.
The one word that keeps popping up with a smile from ear to ear on the face of success is diversification. Part 2 will guide you on which industries to choose from for now and in the future. So first read Mr. Robbins book casually to get your feet wet in the investment industry. Or if you already are an investor, compare his advice with your results.
Then read it again, with pen/pencil, ruler and notebook, or use your smart phone to record the important new learning ideas you will be using in your new investment portfolio.
Then study the history of the new markets and companies you are thinking of buying stock in, and of course, compare their growth with the growth of gold and silver.
Your successful future awaits you!

THE ALPHA OF EVERY SIN IS
‘THE TAKING FOR GRANTED’
THE OMEGA OF EVERY PRAYER
IS ‘THANK YOU’.
THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!
SWEET ANGEL
Be careful sweet angel I implore thee, as you find your way along your journey, as you search for what you need to find, be careful sweet angel for you were born amidst a suffering world that long ago denied its very own pain.
Hydras of contempt were conceived from this denial, a fear of all things mysterious was born, an eruption of projection grew in powerful circles, and the likes of you and those like you, so different in your spontaneity and joy, became inconsequential to their pronouncements.
A darkness intruded with few taking note, wings like yours cursed their routines, your insight made them look upon themselves, their reactions drew dire consequences until even the fundamental ideas you hold sacred were boxed within vaults hidden well beneath the surface.
Be aware of your limitations here for you cannot compete with the bottom tier where smiles and handshakes of sand change with expedient waves, political correctness is the only norm, and the value is the value of winning at any cost.
Such heaviness and possessions impede upon the bliss within your heart, few can hear the melody of your voice, the golden keys you hold cannot unlock the chains of an archaic testament and a fearful exactitude.
Be careful sweet angel I implore thee, for here past and future deny present, confusion is everywhere, the Pharaohs of Egypt who abhorred change still reign, within these vacuums you cannot fly, and the falcon and falconers stand ready and armed to imprison your glory.
