I don’t want to achieve immortality by being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I want to achieve immortality by not dying.” — William De Morgan - Tony Robbins

I constantly strive to learn and to make new and more powerful distinctions about ways to add value to other people’s lives.

How about REITs? David told me he likes “real estate investment trusts that own big central business district office buildings and big regional malls and industrial buildings. They generally throw off a high-income component.

Most big retail firms sell you notes that have substantial commissions, underwriting fees, and distributions fees; all of these will take away from your potential upside. Accessing structured notes through a sophisticated, expert fiduciary (a registered investment advisor) will typically have those fees removed because a fiduciary charges a flat advisory fee. And by stripping out those fees, performance goes up.
