It all comes down to interest rates. As an investor, all you're doing is putting up a lump-sump payment for a future cash flow.

To make the most of your money, I recommend sticking with mutual funds that don't charge a commission when you buy or sell.
If I had high-ticker 10 percent financing, which would probably be the market rate, I would have to dump stuff. The interest payments would be killing me.
Most of the money I make now comes from investments from CrunchFund. And the vast majority of that is what's called carried interest.
I'm primarily just an investor.
You'll get the biggest bang for each buck by paying off the highest interest rate debt in your portfolio first, while making minimum payments on the remainder. It's called the avalanche method, and it gets you out of debt cheapest and fastest.
Equity capital is expensive. Every time you do a raise, you dilute.
The time to save for the future is now. Thanks to compounding interest, the earlier you start putting money away for the future, the more you will save.
Both from the standpoint of stocks and bonds, an investor wants to go where the growth is.
Some of the analysts were saying, Now you're a cash cow, there's no growth at all, pay it all out in dividends, give me it all, you can't invest wisely.
This is our 40th year in business. We don't have a single penny from outside investors, and we never borrowed heavily from the banks. We have a healthy balance sheet and more credit than we can use.
