The fact remains that no one can predict the future with precision. The best we can do is prepare prudently, and that’s what you should do too. Never forget the key factor that has always sustained prudent investors through thick and thin — SAFETY. Always favor lower risk investments, taking bigger risks strictly with money you can afford to lose.”
