Quotes to ponder:
"Smart people and resourceful organizations develop clever models that help them market themselves as having an edge over the competition. But guess what? They don’t know the future any better than you do."
"Nobody can predict the future or outperform the market over the long haul."
"Financial planning should be more about equipping yourself with the analysis tools and mindset for a safe and enjoyable journey, than about trying to predict and control your exact route and arrival time!"
