How much financial bloodshed is necessary before we realize that there is no safe and easy shortcut to investment success? When do we learn that most of our mistakes involve greed, fear, or unrealistic expectations about what we own? Eventually, successful investors begin to allocate assets in a goal directed manner by adopting a realistic Investment Strategy... an ongoing security selection and monitoring process that is guided by realistic expectations, selection rules, and management guidelines.

But errors occur when judgment is unduly influenced by emotions, when the basic principles of investing are misunderstood, and when misconceptions exist about how securities react to varying economic, political, and hysterical circumstances. Avoid these ten common errors to improve your performance: 1.

Long story short: Artist Mark Carlson created a full-size Styrofoam replica of Stonehenge in six weeks in the spring of 2004. It took the Druids a bit longer to put up their version — four centuries, in fact — but let's not be haters. You can see Foamhenge (above, with the artist and his dog Jake in the foreground) with your very own ojos in Natural Bridge, Virginia, "atop a verdant hill." Here's Carlson's story.

Now you look stupid, don't you.The most frustrating situation is when one sleeve stays rolled and one doesn't. That's when you keep trying to get the rolled one to unfold. Some more maneuvers like that and they'll wait for you with the stray jacket. Where the sleeves are kept tightly in place.

Music during the summertime should remind you of what summer means to you. If it makes you happy, then you should pick something with a rather fast beat, and preferably mellow. If summer reminds you of sadness, or regret, pick something darker and louder than usual. Do not be afraid to try new types of music.
