When you think about how you got to where you are with your investments, you can probably tick off a few names who helped you along the way: your parents, your grandparents, or someone else like Richard C. Young, who taught you, or them, how to invest.

In my conversations with you, it’s not uncommon to hear: “My dad followed Richard Young for years and turned me on to him.”

What made Richard C. Young’s Intelligence Report effective was that you knew if you didn’t act on his ideas this month, you’d feel like you missed the boat the following issue.

Every month, he offered his best ideas, and it was up to you to put them to work in your portfolio. It’s why readers enjoyed his introduction so much, because you knew the homework section hadn’t quite started yet. Who doesn’t love recess?

But life can’t always be about recess. We all need a little help to get us going and to keep us going.

It’s why when you have others depending on you to show up, whether it is at the golf course, the pickleball court, your book club, or the gym, you feel a little pressure to be there.

That’s not a bad thing. It helps you take action, and often you feel better for having done it. Not always, but mostly.
