Smart Investing Can Help You
Keep Moving Toward Your Goals Its Kentucky Derby time again. Even if youre not much of a Tall Building Walls Up South Main horse racing fan, you might appreciate all the Derbys pageantry the mint juleps, the womens beautiful hats, the singing of My Old Kentucky Home, and so on. But if you look beyond the hoopla, youll realize just how much work it takes to put on such an event. And the efforts of one group in particular the jockeys may be able to provide you with some lessons in life and in investing. For starters, consider the stamina the jockeys show as they steer 1,000-pound thoroughbreds around the track at Churchill Downs. Riding a racehorse is difficult, demanding and danger- ous, requiring enormous endurance on the part of the jockey. And in many areas of life, you too will need to show some stay- ing power. Thats certainly true when you invest. You need the fortitude to keep on investing, in good markets and bad ones, and during all the phases of your life even after youve retired. It might not always be easy during turbulent markets, you may be tempted to take a time out but the most successful investors are usually the most persistent ones. Heres another trait shown by Kentucky Derby jockeys: vision. Jockeys must be able to spot the spaces they need to go through to gain the position they want. In other words, they see where they want to go. As an investor, you need this same abili- ty. To illustrate: What do you want your retirement to look like? Will you stay close to home and volunteer? Will you travel the world? Will you even open a small business? You need to envi- sion your goals if youre going to achieve them. Strategy is also important to jockeys. They all want to win the race, but they employ different methods. For example, three- time Kentucky Derby winner Calvin Borels strategy usually involves riding his horse on the rail at the inside of the track so JOHN BROCK PHOTO much so that his nickname is Borail. As an investor, you need A WORKER IS DWARFED within the large cut-out at the new construction ongoing Friday morning on the a strategy thats appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and South 600 block of Main Street.
