​ In both cases, they rely on free content in social media, their cousins or brothers-in-law. ​ The result is that:
​ Good mentors save you years… but free content with no effort and not engagement is so easy to consume. ​ I like things that are simple, straightforward. ​ So, my investment system is characterized by being simple and straightforward.

And I think that simple is better. ​ Simple ideas that work for everybody can be found here.

Most construction disasters happen on Mondays. Some on Fridays. But only the truly legendary ones wait for Christmas Day. New York City, 2007. Downtown Manhattan.
