Tweetable Quotes: 

If you set a plan in place, you don’t need to look at it everyday. The guy that looks at his portfolio everyday… could drive themselves crazy. If you really have a plan that’s long term, why are you looking at your phone every second of the day, worrying about what that stock is doing? - Brian Kasal

If we don’t plan, we will fail. So you have to have a plan in advance - Brian Kasal
