Reading that made me feel better about the past 5 years. Somehow it is much easier when the kids are in diapers as opposed to 3 years away from college. There is a time to be brave. Take advantage!

The best approach in any strategy game is to go where few are willing to go. It is the same in life.

Great post. Young entrepreneurs don't see all the hurdles that a more seasoned person might, and that's better that way. But as you alluded, having a more experienced advisor next to them can help them avoid some mistakes.
The other point you have described is the classic "Flanking attack" approach- in Marketing warfare terms. A new entrant will be more successful if they start in an uncontested area.
And Yes to less stock-talk and more $HL...

Love the monopoly analysis, I play with my 10 & 8 year old boys and get a kick when they start figuring it out: buying the light blues instead of BW/PP, 3 house ROI and ironically - the value of just staying put in jail - not sure how I spin this one. So far their rule changes have been oriented towards "get rich fast", this could be really good or really bad . . .

if you learn to cut losses and take losses after huge runs and big givebacks, all-time highs will always make you money. truly the best market strategy and simple. stressful as all stock market strategies but dead simple

glad you liked thebook. thx

Howard,

Great post. I loved Risk when I was young, more than Monopoly. Your point of not trying to be all things to all people is spot on. I also just finish your latest book and it was incredible! I recently jumped on GMCR due to the all time new high approach you mentioned. I find it is something that is easy to believe in! I am less apt to trade in and out of it of my positions and this has already helped me with some of my past trading mistakes.

great post Howard. the last paragraph sums everything up very well - in fact, it should be internalized (perhaps even memorized) by any entrepreneur hopefuls.

have a good weekend.
