My grandfather always told me: "The fastest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket." My dad's favorite was: "Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves." Anyone else remember such words of wisdom? [Reply]   [No Email]

Not a negative way of looking at life , just a reallistic one.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Unless we're talking about the kind of making money where you actually produce your own bills instead of using the government issued ones! ;)   [Reply]  [No Email]

That didn't stop him from retiring as management from Chrysler, and then again from Electrolux/Gibson's before they shut down here. He's been gone 12 years now, may he rest in peace. And yes, what your dad said does make sense!   [Reply]  [No Email]

He sold when everyone was buying and bought when everyone was selling. Bought lots of land during WW II. Bought cattle in the fall and sold in the spring. TRUE STORY.   [Reply]  [No Email]

When cattle are high, everybody's in love with them, because they're going even higher. Then when they hit the skids, they suddenly can't stand the sight of 'em, and can't wait to get 'em to the sale barn."   [Reply]  [No Email]

Had a Polish neighbor who said all you need to do to get rich is make 10%, buy it for a dollar and sell it for ten and make your 10%.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm no economist either, but it kinda makes a weird sort of sense. It's the imbalance that makes things work.   [Reply]  [No Email]
