A Triwhat?

 

In approx. 480 BC the Greek military forces used this awesome ship in battles to propel through the water at greater speeds than ever before in history. It’s uniqueness was that in addition to a sail set on a high mast, it was also propelled by 170 oars arranged in three rows. The Greeks knew they could sail when the wind was at their back, but sometimes, when the water was choppy or the wind was silent, they would need to row.

 

Now please don’t judge me on my historical facts or nautical knowledge here! And don’t “jump ship” because this financial person is trying to somehow make a connection between a huge boat from 480 BC and investing in 2009.

 

The point is this:

 

We must approach investing in a similar fashion. To be successful, different climates call for different measures. As certain as there are times when we can sail comfortably with a good or prudent asset allocation, there are also times when we must row. It’s in these times we must utilize a tactical, more strategic approach.

 

To successfully navigate the financial tides, your investment advisor must create a platform that supports both your sailing and rowing!

    Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Many thanks

    I would encourage you to determine your motives prior to starting. Are you looking to share your knowledge of an area of expertise or simply to have a place to record your best ideas? Answering these may lead you to determining your budget. There are ways to begin for free or you can spend thousands each month. Content and frequency are critical to success, you need to be both relevant and also frequent enough to maintain an audience. Not always easy to do. After you have given these ideas some thought I would be happy to talk further about next steps.

    Good luck!

    Fantastic site you have here but I was curious if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get feed-back from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

    Very good blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

    Thank you for considering me with this question. I would begin by defining exactly what you are wanting to accomplish. Questions like who are you writing for, yourself, employees, clients etc. Next, how will you distribute your content, ie get the word out about your site? e-mail, social media. Answering these questions will lead you to your budget that you are willing to dedicate. You can make it happen for free or you could spend thousands each month. I began with a free wordpress site and loved it, but after upgrading to the Standard Theme my budget has increased as well as the amount of traffic. A trade off that I was willing to make. So, think through those questions and lets talk further if you’d like. I am happy to offer guidance.

    Good luck,
