Golden Hour

'Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing. Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning may be called a heaven-born captain.' - Sun Tzu

'In business I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable moats.'

Most of the human body is made up of water is in the intracellular fluid (up to 2/3 of the human body's water) with a composition near 60% (higher percentages in infants and lean adults varying according to gender and fitness level). Should one detach themselves into the wild it becomes evident thirst is a constant factor and hydration levels are paramount to peak performance.

In addition to physical health it helps to seek an improved understanding of the economic system around us to chart a proper course - Ride the Ultimate. The external environment is continually ebbing and flowing so keeping our body & mind healthy to maximize efficiency and spend quality time doing what we love is a major goal. We agree with Thomas Jefferson in matters of principal to 'stand like a rock' but not on his thoughts on style to 'swim with the current.'

Before we go on a feral surf trip we may transact business to earn capital in the form of a currency. In the United States the Statue of Liberty is placed upon an island surrounded by a body of water in a specific location thus as good sailors we must request 'liberty' from the captain (future post comparing freedom). Capital may be held in many forms and it may behoove one to better conceptualize ways to create, store and transfer liquid assets in the form of available funds. 

A 'current' is said to flow to the 'sea' directed by 'banks' of a river. The currency we use for transactions is not a store of value in the long run due to 'dilution.' Excessive new 'liquidity' or currency added to the system may create storms and as surfers our job is to use these disturbances in the system to our advantage. The storms in the economic system were not created by us 'small fish' but a good pilot is compelled to understand his errors so that one can further apply lessons learned when riding future storms.

Much of the English language is 'awash' in terms stipulating Maritime Admiralty Law. We are delivered into this world by the mother ship through the birth canal checked in by the 'dock' and receive a birth certificate in capital letters (certificate of manifest). This blog isn't focused on law or conspiracies but rather ways to better understand the rules of the game, public perception and sentiment with the intention for decisive principled action.

Ever wonder why all 'ships' are named 'she' much less terminology corresponding to statesmanship (government / royalty), scholarship, sportsmanship much less a dealership (hence fleet pricing)?

Imagine if you could find a way to 'stand with principal' in a storm current to help others. The conditions today may be dire for some but ideal for those whom act (lifeboat).

- We wish to ensure you are not awash in debt.

- The world is becoming flooded with money.
- Make sure your bank account is not dried up.
- An offshore account isn't analogous with 'laundered money.'
- It can be a tight ship - Don't rock the boat.
- We hope to make waves.

The open seas are mesmerizing & enchanting. We see a unique opportunity for sovereign beings to act like profitable merchant bankers. Are you on board mate?
