If You Have A Dream, You Have To Try It

If there`s one thing I have learned in going around the world, it`s that societies become rich, swagger around for a few years, decades, or centuries, and then their hour is done. The other thing I have learned is that even when all the wealth is gone, life goes on.

More important, I`ve also learned that if you have got a dream, you have to try it; you must get it out of your system. You will never have another chance.

If you want to change your life, do it. - in Investment Biker

Governments Are Terrible At Engendering Prosperity And Wealth

In reference to statism, I certainly don`t want to be misunderstood. I`m no anarchist. There are many legitimate functions governments must handle, mostly involving public safety, such as those of national defense, police and fire protection, air traffic, the inspection of buildings and food, and flood control. It`s just that after a century of experiments we can now see clearly that governments are terrible at engendering prosperity and wealth. - in Investment Biker

The reason you want to buy something cheap is so that you don`t have much risk; if you are wrong, you are not going to suffer too badly.

Catalonia & Spain

I wrote a book once called Investment Biker and in that book I made the point that I know of no country in history, in the world as we know it, that has lasted as long as 200 years with the same borders or the same government.

So, it would be normal if more countries continue to break up. We had at least 10 or 12 countries breaking up in the past decade or two. Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Ethiopia and Eritrea, Sudan recently, Soviet Union. You had a lot of countries breaking up and that is going to continue. That is the way it has been through out history. - excerpt from an recent answer to a question about the tensions between Catalonia and Spain
