I was reading one of my favorite books on investing the other night, "100 to 1 in the Stock market" by Thomas W. Phelps. I came across these sentences "remember the late George F. Baker's dictum: To Make money in stocks you must have "the vision to see them, the courage to buy them and the patience to hold them." Patience is the rarest of the three." George F. Baker (1840 -1931) was a financier and philanthropist.
This is a very good insight.

Most investors have no idea what they are paying in fees on their investments. These fees can include investment management fees, transaction fees, and mutual fund/etf fees, insurance fees, and other fees. When you add up all of these fees you can easily be paying 1% to 3% of your total account each YEAR in total fees. This is a huge drag on your investment returns! The compound effect of these high fees over many years can mean substantially less dollars in your accounts. At Foster Investment Services, we are extremely focused on reducing the cost of investing for our clients. The majority of our client accounts are well below 1% in TOTAL fees. As our business, grows we will continue to reduce our management fees for our clients. We realize that our clients' success is our future!
