Today was a fascinating example of a patient plan methodically executed. Germany utterly dismantled Brazil today in a match that should have been "mercied" by the referee.

At the beginning, Brazil plunged into the match with emotional fury. They seemed to be everywhere on pitch all at once. Germany seemed slow and measured. Initially, it looked like Brazil might take the match!

But then slowly, Germany opened up the game, then it quickly became overwhelming...the rest is sports history.

As you review your portfolio now, ask yourself how much of your current decision making is "Brazil." The market is at new highs...maybe now you double down on risk? Maybe you start playing a new game you are not used to playing. Or, do you patiently re-assess, review your strategy, and then patiently execute your longer game-plan.

As Germany showed today, when you deviate from your plan, the penalties can be devastating.
