Nails on the Numbers
Two teams, vying for the biggest prize in baseball with a history virtually devoid of post-season success. The Astros are virgins when it comes to World Series appearances, as this represents their first trip to baseball's ultimate stage in their 44-year history. The White Sox are only slightly better, in that this will be their fourth world series appearance in 88 years, the last one 46 years ago. Hence, a new World Series champion will be crowned this year. Brand new, the Astros, or almost brand new, the White Sox, is the only question that remains to be answered.
How does this all relate to the investment world? Well, sometimes the market goes into a prolonged slump, and it seems like you will never win. That is when you must dig deep and plow forward, just like these two teams, just like Biggio and Bagwell. If good things do truly come to those who wait, then both of these teams are long overdue. Who will it be, the Astros or the White Sox? After Sunday's wild game, Chicago is halfway to the Promised Land, but regardless of who emerges victorious, remember: Life is a journey.
