"SHE KEPT IT SECRET FROM HER HUSBAND"

If everybody that's listening to this does that, they will maintain and grow their wealth. I learned this from my mother and I actually built a whole indexing company around it. She never wanted a man to control her life, so she started at an early age when she was working for her father, paid cash and so she would take 20% of that cash each week and put it into two asset classes, stocks that paid dividends, large cap stocks and Telco bonds. But her rule was very simple. No more than 5% in any one of the and no more than 20% in any one sector ever. So when a stock ran up past 5%, she'd sell it down. She had that portfolio for 55 years. Wow. She never spent the principal, only the dividends and the interest. And she put my brother and I through college and, you know, she took care of her and her sisters when they fell on hard times. She kept her accounts secret from her husbands. Both of her husbands. She wanted her own independent money. When she passed and I saw the portfolio, it was extraordinary, beyond any hedge fund guy when I saw the results. I said that's it. That's how I'm gonna invest for the rest of my life.
