Product Information

Life is short, play golf and find a way to get better today. There are so many great options for golfers to improve. From new equipment to new golf ball balls to swing training aids, but it starts with having a system for your swing. Alex Fortey knows his stuff and I am convinced he can help you play better golf. The approach is new and refreshing and he has some great mentors in his golf approach.

Tinker to your heart’s content with strategic asset allocation and time your trades to when a market feels cheap or expensive, says Loeys, but you’re probably going to get stuff wrong so don’t sweat it:Például ha elhatározod, hogy boldog akarsz lenni, szükséged van magad körül emberekre, akik szintén boldogok. Így segíthet saját boldogságod előidézésében az, ha szolgálsz másokat." Szóval bementem a boldog emberek közé, aki nem elég boldog, azt elkerülöm, és ezzel másokat szolgálok? Értem, hogy mit akart mondani, de nem azt mondta. Az első mondatból különösen ordít az eredeti. If you are tired of the same old approach in golf instruction of trying to get into a different position in your golf swing, then you have come to the right place. The reality is that our bodies are gravity geniuses and trying to hit a certain position in the golf swing is a waste of time and just leads to additional frustration.

I really wanted to like this book. I'm a fan of what Alice Waters has done for promoting local, organic, well raised food. I'm planning a vacation that involves eating at her restaurants at least twice. I know from experience that the secret to really good food is to take really good ingredients and prepare them simply, and I try to apply that to my cooking. The start is nice, in that she lays out what ingredients (herbs, for instance) and equipment should be on hand for effective cooking. One simple example: the author's emphasis at several points on the value of a good supply of fresh aromatic foods to enhance flavors in a recipe (e.g., onions, carrots, and celery). Then, she discusses how to plan menus and entertain friends for dinner. Not recipes, but useful context. I'm being biased in my star rating because this isn't really a great cookbook by any means. I just love Alice Waters and appreciate her purpose in writing this. I won’t give a play-by-play of all those early months, but after the first year, I asked a few friends to contribute posts every now and then, and that decision transformed this place to a community-focused blog, where I was never the single expert. It’s never had a year since that first one, 2008, when it was just me.

Success!

One could argue that your bond fund should be global, but that would add foreign-currency risk that is generally not well compensated. If you then have strong views on what asset types, countries, or sectors to have more of than is in these broad funds — say you fancy Technology — you can simply add a Tech ETF to these two funds. It is harder when there are certain assets you want to have less of, or not have at all — say oil companies. You would need a fund that excludes oil companies, but that may not exist if there are not enough investors like you who do not want to hold oil. If such a fund does not exist, then you will have to build a portfolio bottom up by trying to buy all the other sectors, for which funds will surely not all be available. Hence, it is much easier to execute overweights than underweights in a simple portfolio. In short, you will do quite well with holding only two funds: a global equity one and a local bond one.
