"This investment is very exciting indeed. It's great that you found it - well worth the yearly subscription. 'Thanks' just does not cover it!"

"Short and punchy... Yet again you deserve the title of "person most likely to get me off my ass to do something".

"I'm 65 in November, but really feel like huge new things are going to happen for me, and you have played a part in keeping that mind-set going. 65 is the new 45."
