Each of our feet has 19 muscles, 26 bones, and 33 joints, but we usually do not think about a single one of them when we take a step. Coordination and balance are elements that happen beneath our consciousness. We are free to enjoy our walk, to daydream or reminisce or plan.
Can you imagine trying to think about what each of 19 muscles should do with each step?
Meanwhile, each of our portfolios has between twenty and forty holdings. We make adjustments every few months to pare some back and add to others, to buy new opportunities and sell out of others. We’re reading SEC filings, quarterly reports, economic news, and investment research to inform our efforts.
You—the best clients in the world—do not have to think about any of that while you are living life. Whether you are investing for the day you can live on your capital or already “living on the fruit crop” after a career tending the orchard, we are busy coordinating and balancing the elements to help build your wealth.
I like to walk; my feet are rather important in that process. But I appreciate not having to think about the flexor digitorum brevis muscle… or any of them! I’m free to think about anything else while I’m out on the trail or walking around the lakes or on the riverbank.
In case you do want to learn more about what is going on behind the scenes, our blog posts and videos and podcasts are a good way to learn about our philosophy and strategies and tactics. And you can always call or email us when you want a one-on-one conversation—we are here for it.
In the meantime, just like your feet, we’ll be working to get you where you want to go.
Investing involves risk including the potential loss of principal. No investment strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
