#1919, "Source your information."


          

I live by this rule.

I have a friend that has been happily married to his wife for 30 years. I give a lot of weight to what he says about marriage. But being as how he's 57 and doesn't have #### saved for retirement I don't take the stock tips he offers as freely as his matrimonial tips.

Basically if a guy is talking me into or out of stock, he better have made at least few hundred thousand in the market - otherwise I'm listening to the wisdom of Warren Buffet and Phil Towne. Likewise if a guy who has been divorced 4X is giving me marriage advice it's in one ear and out the other.

Seems like a very logical thing, but most people tend to take someone like, say, their Mom and give her advice in ALL areas equal weight.

I dunno, just something to think about.




P.S I'm not saying your friend is poor.
