**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">__Investment Idioms__ **
<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Idiom: Don’t follow the herd. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Point: Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Idiom: If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Point: Failing to set goals will make it easy to fail.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Idiom: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Point: You must take risk in order to reap rewards.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Idiom: A fool and his money are soon parted. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Point: Be educated and seek wise counsel. The [|AAAMP Blog] is a great place to stay educated!
