The more anxiety around the present age there is also, the more likely investing in this space could work as a zig to your zaggers (ie, this type of investment may not drop in value as much during poor economic times – it could even increase). Alternative ‘luxury’ investments could therefore ma...

There was an American civil rights leader called Mortimer Adler that some believe said this: 'I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom. ' Trapped inside due to poor weather while on holiday with 3 young kids can produce a few scraps of wisdom, among other things. Playing games wi...
