J Martin is a very nice and intelligent investor from my interaction with him.

Currently, I work as a Sales Engineer for a Business Intelligence Software company, but eventually I want to leave my full time job for a career in Real Estate.

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent peopleand the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest criticsand endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty;To find the best in others;To leave the world a bit better, whether bya healthy child, a garden patchor a redeemed social condition;To know even one life has breathedeasier because you have lived; This is to have succeeded.

Intelligence !

In the end, if someone is a passive investor it's still a good time to acquire if they acquire intelligently.

He is intelligent enough to know he doesn't have a crystal ball, but his concepts will sell books and maintain his relevancy.
