                      MAXIMIZE RETURN, MINIMIZE RISK, PRESERVE CAPITAL

Give me the courage Lord, to sail my boat out from the shore;

For I'd rather know the Ocean's gale, and hear the Tempests' roar,

than anchor safely in some bay, because Fear conquered me;

Let craft less daring inland stay, be mine the pathless Sea.
