Welcome to The Re-ThinkWealth Blog
“The key to investing is not how smart we are or how fast we go. It is to be right more often than we are wrong. Big money is made swinging big for the fat pitches. It is going for the big bet right inside our competence circle. That’s the key to investing.” – Chris Susanto
