“I call investing The Greatest Show On Earth because money is everywhere, it affects all of us, and confuses most of us. Everyone thinks about it a little differently.

Few topics offer a more powerful magnifying glass that helps explain why people behave the way they do.”

” Good light is the PREREQUISITE for a plant to grow but the term “bright indirect light” fails to convey anything concrete. At worse, it makes you think just any place the sun doesn’t shine is considered indirect light. And our eyes adjust to a wide range of light levels so you will NOT feel the difference. Instead, those with huge, unobstructed windows and/or skylights are patting themselves on the back at how good they are with houseplants while those with smaller windows living between buildings are struggling to figure out why their fiddle leaf fig always ends up with 90% of their foliage lost.”
