Trust Your Instincts

Recently, a dinner companion related how close she and her family were to losing their investments.  A broker she had dealt with for years joined the ill-fated Stanford firm and presented a very attractive opportunity.  She was encouraged to sign the papers before going on vacation and was assured that the broker would complete the paperwork. Thankfully, she wanted to study the documents before completing the transaction, because when she returned from vacation the Ponzi scheme was front page news.

This was a vivid reminder to trust our instincts rather than yield to the pressure of another person's timeline.
