Reviewing your finances like a book Martin Hawes
“Every week, instead of thinking up something new to say, this column could easily take the form of a book review.

HK Golfer Magazine article: Bulls, Golden Bears and Tiger
from HK Golfer, Hong Kong’s Premier Golf Magazine
Golf has always been a ‘bull market sport’ in that it has always tended to flourish during periods of optimism and enthusiasm. To an extent this can be seen when the growth in money winnings by top professionals is compared to the appreciation in stock markets. In 1967, Jack Nicklaus was the world’s leading money winner. Had he taken his entire earnings that year and invested it all in the world stock market over the next 33 years it would have grown about 40 times in value …..
