1. Health. Elements:
+ Stay thin.
+ Nap regularly.
+ Don’t take anything long-term. That means smoking tobacco or marijuana or ingesting dietary supplements long term. That’s the key — short-term, get high but lay off quickly.
+ Exercise. Any exercise that gets your heart rate about 100 will work.
+ Don’t believe doctors. Research your problems and discuss them intelligently. It’s your body, not theirs.
+ Don’t invest in things that will cause you stress long-term. That’s the key — long-term. If you’re stressing, sell it. Good to invest in things with an easy way out. But there are things in the middle — like getting a miserable job, marrying a miserable person, to investing in a fund with no end — like ones I invested in from Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.
Selling is the greatest stress-reliever ever invented. If you can’t sell — no matter the price — you get long-term agita. And that’s killing.
2. Trust. Only work with people you trust 1000%.
Gerry Friesen is the most honest person in the entire world. He was my partner for twenty years. I lucked out.
These days I look at people to help manage my money. I worked with Gerry for two years before we became 50-50 partners for the next twenty years. Since then, time has speeded up. Now I’m expected to make million dollar decisions based on pretty sheets that show performance data — how well the manager did in good times. I ask around and go in slowly and gently. I say NO a lot.
It’s not easy. I’ve been with Francis Greenburger for over 30 years. You couldn’t find anyone more honest — not only in the way he treats me — one of his partner/investors — but in the way he presents opportunities to me.
Once he presented a shopping center investment to me. It was in Lettuce Patch, Iowa or close thereby. I complained, “It’s boring!
He smiled and said “It is what it is.”
There’ll be good times. There’ll be bad times.
I judge the syndicators/managers/hedgies (whatever you call them) by how they tell me they’re tackling the bad times.
Francis G. is magnificent at explaining the few — very few — bad times we’ve had together. I appreciate that more than the good times. I know how hard it is tell your partners of bad times.
Now for a special request
Please help me. Is this stock a ten-bagger?
Isoray (ISR) makes a tiny radioactive pellet that you surgically implant around your prostate . It attacks prostrate cancer better than anything else, I believe. They’re selling lots. But they’re losing lots.
Here’s the past ten years:
Does the product work? Please ask your doctor friends. Will Isoray sell zillions more of them? Will some mega pharma monster buy them out? Here’s an investor presentation:

Ask your doctor friends and let me now.
That’s it for today. I have lots of great Christmas present ideas tomorrow. But right now I’m going to play tennis. – Harry Newton.
For me personally it IS NOT knowing that Trump has a marvelous plan to destroy these NAZI FASCISTS, but knowing that when Trump does claim that “The Storm Is Upon Them” he is going to extract every ounce of pain imaginable. And yes Harry, you can take that directly to the bank.

Q
Why did Isoray fall off a cliff around 2015? That’s my question. Answer that, let me know and I’ll tell you if it’s a good investment.
