Not every guy’s a member of the lucky sperm club. But just
because your boyfriend isn’t a scion of a wealthy family doesn’t mean you’re
never going to marry a rich man.
If Apple’s stock can rise from $21 to $500, so can the
wealth of any man.
Don’t be discouraged if the guy you are currently dating is
nothing more than a penny stock. The market bears no memories. He might very
well be poor only for now. Then again, how can you tell?
Of course not every penny stock is worth investing in. Some
are simply hopeless and will never hit it big. Some are purely millionaires in
the making.
To spare you from waking up one morning realizing you’ve
invested your time, effort and youth for nothing, here’s the rule of thumb I’ve
used to sift out good penny stocks.
1. He knows he is good at something.
Knowing his worth is
usually the first step towards wealth creation. Baby-sitting, baking, gardening
or whatever so long as he recognizes that the skills he honed are exchangeable
for money.
2. He is self-disciplined.
He has the ability to
concentrate on future financial goals without swaying from everyday tasks that
will lead him there. No matter how boring or unpleasant.
3. He blames himself, not others.
He thinks it’s always his
fault. Either partially or entirely. It might seem a little sadistic but it’s
him actually knowing that he has control over his environment, decisions and
ultimately his own future.
4. He lives below his means.
It doesn’t mean he’s a miser.
He chooses to accumulate more wealth rather than to succumb to short-lived
pleasures of buying a Rolex or a BMW. Someone in the relationship has to make
this sacrifice at the beginning. If not him, who else?
5. He is a doer.
He doesn’t blabber on and on about how he
is going to do something great. He just does it. He doesn’t complain about
doing stuff. He just does it.
6. He is extremely curious.
He takes time and effort to
figure out the nuts and bolts of why things work or don’t work. Opportunity
sometimes arises when he stumbles upon an unserved niche.
7. He is thick skinned.
He has the balls to execute his
crazy plans. Whatever they may be. Failure doesn’t concern him. Or should
I say he isn’t afraid of being laughed at if he didn’t succeed. He repeats
6 and tries again.
Investing in men is largely based on intrinsic value. There
is no right or wrong value though. Nothing in life is guaranteed. You’ll win
some and you’ll lose some. But when you do win, make sure you win big. If you
trust my bogus knowledge about investing, bear in mind that character is key.
In fact it is everything to me.
So good luck ladies. May the dating market be forever
bullish.
