The Daily Principle: Today's Daily Principle is INVESTING, specifically dealing with Diversify. This principle is found in Ecclesiastes 11–6. The verse reads: "What a Wise Person Does Invest your money in foreign trade, and one of these days you will make a profit. Put your investments in several places—many places even—because you never know what kind of bad luck you are going to have in this world. No matter which direction a tree falls, it will lie where it fell. When the clouds are full, it rains. If you wait until the wind and the weather are just right, you will never plant anything and never harvest anything. God made everything, and you can no more understand what he does than you understand how new life begins in the womb of a pregnant woman. Do your planting in the morning and in the evening, too. You never know whether it will all grow well or whether one planting will do better than the other." Learn more at businessbible.com where Daily News meets Daily Principle.
