Just wanted to give my fellow investors some words of inspiration as given to to me by a seasoned Investor years ago, who told mt to "Buy when there's blood in the streets" (I think this current market fits the bill), and to "control money from the grave" (estate planning).
I AM REAL ESTATE
I am the basis of all wealth, the heritage of the wise, the thrifty and prudent. I am the poor man’s joy and comfort; the rich man’s prize; the right hand of capital; the silent partner of many thousands of successful men. I am the solace of the widow, the comfort of old age, the cornerstone of security against misfortune and want. I am handed down to children, through generations, as a thing of great worth. I am the choicest fruit of toll. Credit respects me, yet I am humble. I stand before every man inviting him to know me for what I am and possess me. I grow and increase in value through countless days. Though I seem dormant my worth increases, never failing, never ceasing. Time is my aid and population increases my gain. Fire and the elements I defy, for they cannot destroy me. My possessors learn to believe in me, invariably they become envied. While all things wither and decay, I survive. The centuries find me younger, increasing in strength. The thriftless speak ill of me. The charlatans of finance attack me. I am trustworthy. I am sound. Unfailing, I triumph, and detractors are disproved. Minerals and oils come from me. I am sound. I am a producer of food, the basis for ships and factories, the foundation of banks. Yet I am so common that thousands unthinkingly and unknowingly pass me by.
I am real estate.
