At the beginning I didn’t want to believe it. Until I watched the video by myself. It’s just a 30-second video. It will change forever the way you look at the world.

Then, let’s imagine that only 150 days a year are good, you have no commitments, the weather is not that bad, and your boss didn’t ask you for a new Power Point Presentation. Let’s also be super cautious. Suppose there are only a few peak hours. Just 4 good hours a day. Yes… just 25.
150 × 4 × 25 = 15,000 dollars a year. It’s probably more than double that amount, but let’s say that it’s just that: 15,000 dollars a year… Per statue. Yes… who said that you could use only one. So, 45.000 dollars a year with:
I know what’s happening right now through your brain. Yes… I know it quite well. Right now your brain is working at lightning speed to come up with reasons why this wouldn’t work:
Keep going. ​ ​ ​ Exactly one year ago… I created a portfolio with my money. Real money. Real cash. I invested following a series of guidelines. This is the result. Investing 100.000 euros, or 140.6k CAD dollars… Look at this: 30 September: 140,600.84 31 October: 139,533.02 30 November: 149,311.00 31 December: 152,101.00 31 January: 158,959.08 29 February: 165,329.06 31 March: 169,995.03 30 April: 167,714.94 31 May: 176,419.64 30 June: 179,177.74 31 July: 182,027.52 30 August: 182,772.25 30 September: 186,818.21 ​Return since creation: 32.87% or 46,217.37 CAD dollars. Still, you’ll be thinking… that this is impossible, it won’t happen again, someone will ask me for a new Power Point presentation… While you’re thinking why not to buy the course below, my portfolio is making money for me. ​Invest better than 99% of people... including fund managers​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

The meeting had everything. An agenda. A board pack. Senior people. Weather conversations. Possibly biscuits. Coffee and tea. Potable sandwiches during the break.

The company responsible for upgrading and maintaining large parts of the London Underground under a PPP. The issue is that Transport for London appointed a Partnership...
There you are in front of the guys from the government. Ten projects. Billions in investment. A slide deck so polished it should have its own LinkedIn account.

That is one of...
Infrastructure investors used to love a simple story. Capacity. Traffic. Revenue. Return. Easy stuff. A port handles more containers. A road carries more vehicles. And so on… Everyone opens Excel.
