WINDSOR
In This Issue
PRESIDENT’S PEN
Sound Investments
From time to time the Windsor
Gardens investment portfolio
manager comes to report on
the state of our capital reserves.
Mitch’s presence is an opportunity
for finance committee members
who are concerned about the
complexity and volatility of the
stock markets to seek reassurance that our and
their investments are safe from drastic changes.
Having many years experience and the resources
of a large investment firm with its own economists
and analysts, he quietly dispels alarming reports
with sound information, reminding us that financial
markets are subject to the cycles of growth
and entropy, health and decay, successes and
failures, all occurring simultaneously. As he spoke I
imagined an organism of millions of entrepreneurs,
managers and employees, investors comprised
of every nationality: geniuses, rogues, dreamers,
visionaries, families striving for financial security,
taking risks, recovering from failure, all trying to
create value. The key to successful investing, Mitch
said, is to look for healthy companies, find places
where growth is occurring, where risk is low, and
spread your investments to take advantage of the
ebb and flow of the markets, which over time move
in a positive direction.
The finance committee feels better after Mitch
shows up. And it’s not just about our HOA reserves.
What we hear is good advice about life in general:
don’t be afraid, look at the big picture. Of course,
disturbing stuff happens, but there is plenty of
positive stuff too. There are real problems, and there
are people who are working to solve them. Look for
signs of life and growth and possibility. While there
are no guarantees, continue to invest your time and
talent where it is most likely to bear fruit.
Ken
Whitney,
Board
President
