If I may I will tell you a story a sad one but a story never the less. I knew a firemen in Vancouver Canada who told me this story it was a Sunday evening late November in a down town $10.00 a night hotel with the washroom down the hall that he got a call out too.


The gentlemen was in his late fifty's and had been drinking heavy for years on the account of an investment that he assumed went bad for him. His family had cast him aside due to his drinking as well his addiction to gambling and on that faithful night his live caught up with him and he died of heart failure.


The story didn't end there, when his next of kin came to collect his belongings they found old stock certificates he had hung onto. Because of his moving about and changing his address's he never registered the shares to any of the new address's and due too being a Canadian and the stocks were owned by a American company loaned to this fellow of mention who died that faithful night in May under the cold Canadian winter night there was no way for the company to contact this fellow nor did they know that he was in dire straights and could of used the money that he had put away sometime ago thinking that it was worthless to him.


The morale of the story here is keep your affairs in order. Don't let things get you down that investing is a long term goal and something one must keep at.


The fellow of mention had bought a company trading in the micro pennies were he had held ten million shares that were well worth over a million dollars some thirty years later on the day of his death not knowing and living in the depths of despair.
