Be happy while you are living, for you are a long time dead
                                                            - Scottish Proverb

At The Ridgewood Group, we like to pride ourselves not only as thoughtful and intelligent investors, but also as thoughtful people.

To this end, we have compiled a list of some of our favorite books across a variety of fields, including, of course, our all time favorite investing books.  In addition, we have compiled some of our favorite thoughts and quotes that we have heard or read.  Hope you enjoy these as much as we did and still do.

As Joel Greenblatt said, time is the currency of everyone's life.  When it's spent the game is over.  One of the great benefits of having money is the ability to pursue those great accomplishments that require the gifts of being and of time.  If viewed in the proper light, it can buy you time - the freedom to pursue the things that you enjoy and that give meaning to your life

We hope to be able to play a small part in helping our clients seek and attain that freedom in their own lives.
