@madaboutmarkets 100% correct Joanne. even with relaxed reg 28, managers still seem to have blinkers on when it comes to this concept. Most also can't seem to conceptualise using full global allowance to scour the world for best opportunities and then as you say hedge currency if ZAR undervalued

@tferriss very wise words, which for many people only become obvious after some life changing event

Some wise words indeed from Tim Ferris

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

If we assume the point of investing is ultimately to improve your quality of life and the quality of life of those you most care about, investments that consistently add stress over long periods of time probably don’t make sense. Money is traded for things or experiences that catalyze certain feelings. If your investments are generating the opposite spectrum of feelings, it might be time to reassess.

It’s easy to miss the forest for the trees. Money is a means, not an end.

And in the end, most things matter very, very little. Do what helps you sleep at night and wake up with a low heart rate. To me, those are the hallmarks of a world-class investor who gets the big picture.

The 3-6-3 rule harks back to the conservative and staid banking industry of the 1950’s to 1980’s, where bankers offered 3% interest on deposits, lent money at 6%, and wrapped up their workday by 3pm on the golf course.
