Money is a living entity, and it responds to energy exactly the same way you do. It is drawn to those who welcome it, those who respect it. Wouldn't you rather be with people who respect you and who don't want you to be something you're not? Your money feels the same way.

But stocks don't always go up. That's where bonds come into play: They have less upside potential, but they also do not pack the same risk.
