As I mentioned in an earlier post, time is of the essence. With that in mind, I've been trying to come up with a list of things that I really want to focus on in my free time. Other than having a life, these "hobbies" are the things that I think are most important to me at the moment.
Hobbies of the moment
- Stock Club. Myself, Frank and Jason (a friend of Frank's), started putting together a stock club (located at InvestorGeeks.com). We believe that the way to wealth and a good retirement lays in the ability to invest wisely and beat the street with solid returns every year. However, as novices to investing in securities we've all been struggling individually for the last few months trying to learn what opportunities are out there. The purpose of our group is to help each other pick out the high growth industries and companies within those industries that will outperform the market as a whole. Additionally, we hope to create a readership for ourselves that will also help in our discussions. I've really been pumped by it recently and I hope you'll stop by!
- Stay Current. While many people dismiss reading about current events and topics in newspapers and magazines as not really reading, I think that successful people as well as successful investors need to understand the zeitgeist of the nation in order to really see where society is headed. As such, I will continue to read my favorite magazines and news from around the world.
- Trip Planning. Costa Rica is only a few short months away! It's time to start planning and there's no time like the present.
