Eternal investments

Have you ever wished you had been present early on when the time was just right for investing in some of the really great opportunities of our time? AT&T, Facebook, Apple, and Tesla stock sold for pennies on the dollar back in the early days when they were first made public. But of course even then that was back when none of us really had the presence of mind to invest in those new upcoming technologies of our day. Looking back, we can see what a good idea it would have been.

Maybe there are more strategies today that will prove valuable for savvy investors in our time. There are! I guarantee it, but they may not be the securities that you are thinking of probably, but they are there.

This situation is directly analogous to our recognizing and investing in family memories. For the most part people don't realize the importance of this simple act now or appreciate the urgency since it seems like they have forever to accomplish this work and get it all done. But largely, those who procrastinate will someday look back with regret.

It is always a lot easier to get pertinent information now when it is readily available and still at our fingertips, rather than waiting until the people have passed and the memories begin to fade.

Investing a little time and effort now when the cost is small and pays big dividends helps us avoid regret later when the price is much more costly. The upshot is do it today, and this opportunity will turn out really great both now and later.
​
Speaking from experience, today is the right time to begin.

​You can't lose.
