Top 3 Sayings I’m Hearing That Remind Me of Year 2000

From The Distilled Perspective of Patrick T Bulger, Capital Management & Analytics 

I hear many people repeating many things, like:

1) Debt doesn't matter
2) If It hasn't happened yet, I don't need to worry or it won't happen
3) Valuation doesn't matter

These are just to name a few.

  • I feel like cumulatively, they do matter.

A popular human flaw is waiting to make a decision, "decision avoidance" is a real thing.

Random sayings give your mind an excuse to wait
Sometimes it's waiting until it's too late.
I call that a proof-by-loss event.

Remember, the roadrunner was early, the coyote was late...each time. Meep-Meep!

Final Wrap: 
Distilled data is for the high level thinkers & delegators. 
Narratives, stories & bluster are built for The Herd. 

I manage capital for those who demand quality in their decision chain. 
If you are an intentionally advanced thinker, 
It’s time for a risk discussion, because your money matters to you.
