Rob – I have a saying I'm going to use quite a bit in my presentation at the BP seminar in Denver: "widen your horizons and expand your vision".

Given equal investment horizons, there’s no (non-prohibited) investment you can make that will grow faster after taxes are paid than if similarly invested tax free.None.Why don’t you give us an idea of what you’re thinking?

Unless you can't generate much yield on your cash it is almost always better to take the longer amortization provided your horizon is long and the rate differential between the short and long is small.

The time has come to expand my horizons and take my financial achievement into my own hands.

(at one time NYC was a dangerous place to be and not highly sought after in the early 90's)You need to expand you horizons to less expensive areas if you hope to get cash flow from rental properties, or be a very patient person with lots of disposable income to park

Those of us who want a different life need to understand that the college experience is about broadening our horizons and not about helping us acquire skills and perspective necessary for entrepreneurial success in my opinion.

Particularly, if your time horizon is pretty far out, the only question should be, where can you get the best return for your risk tolerance?

This is a pretty personal issue that depends on a host of factors including your current financial goals, investment opportunities, risk tolerance, time horizon, cash flow, cash reserves, etc.

Just driving home tonight I could see an extremely bright orange-red glow on the horizon due east of my position on Hwy 52.

I used to own the New Horizons Computer Learning Center across the street (1 Valley)...
