This Way, to the Beach We Go!

But be forewarned, for some it is a perilous time when IRA fortunes take a dive and retirement dreams are swept by the tide, leaving beautiful tropical beaches vacant on warm sunny days. Through the sands of time, however, we will navigate our investment portfolio into high potential growth equity and reclaim our sight of the horizon. We will learn to swim through the turbulent waters of modern-day investing and invest with our intellectual ability, not allowing media malarkey the opportunity to sway our emotions into irrational investing.
