        • Diet and Exercise…

          We all have friends who talk about their diets. I’ve always been struck by the fact that people who like to talk about them the most are typically overweight. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I heard a skinny person going on and on about his/her formula for success. In dieting and investing, it would seem that self-discipline plays a crucial role. So, what does self-discipline mean for investors? I think it can be a number of things, but here are some of the most critical elements as it relates to investment discipline.
