This is not on the list by I dream at night then I wake up in the morning to execute.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

I start with i) friends-how can i get ahead of them and retire better than them
Then i go to a) fundamentals best economic growth areas and the best companies to exploit this potential with avg risk and max returns
Then i go to f) dartboard and pick out 5 companies to concentrate on and follow religiously.
Then to b) a mganga who understands the industry well to second-guess my decision
Then to d) i wait until the stocks are low-never in a hurry
Then to h)my broker to find out how many are visiting the office if not many then am treated like a king and i can pick brains
Then to C) technical charts to ensure am on the right path
then to J) wazua to validate my opinion and ensure am getting bargainsn once in a while
Then to e) bartalk when the waiter and the taxi driver start discussing stocks i start panic-exuberance is setting in
Then to g) spouse i hope he/she never finds out where about my secret portfolio until my will is read out

Technical Analysis, with Tech you get clear defined rules for buy and sell, which reduces the stress of greed and fear. You dont need 30 years of data to run tech, 2 years of data is mo than enough smile
