They say that a picture is worth a thousand words…I say that simple gifts and gestures can be priceless.

Last year I found the perfect gift for my limited partners, friends and trusted mentors.

It is the work of Carl Richards. When I saw his unique and artistic way of expressing eternal investing concepts, I tracked him down to talk about it. I asked him if we could do a limited edition run of ‘Buy and Hope’ and other examples of his art for our community to buy for themselves or give as gifts. He agreed and we created this site where you can browse and purchase copies of a special limited edition.

I sent another print, Fear and Greed, to Fred Wilson, a venture capitalist, father and entrepreneur who you would think has everything. It inspired this post of thanks. I can’t buy one for everyone, but I did arrange a discount for everyone in this community.

Don’t be lazy when you have trusted mentors and friends. Just like you must think outside of the box all day trading and investing, so should you think about the people who help make your job easier and more fun.

If you want to send one to me…have him create something else because I have collected most of them already :) .
