Start and keep relationships before you need them. Great advice for anyone. I know so many people are trying to network all of a sudden because they need a job, but it doesn’t work like that. You have to constantly be building and maintaining it to work for you.

I worked for someone who admired the legendary investor Marty Zweig, and he was fond of repeating one of Zweig's famous lines: "The trend is your friend, don't fight the tape." Coincidentally I was thinking of that this weekend as people were talking about whether the market would keep going up. I guess the trend is your friend until the day when it won't be.

Yep
