Weekly Quote, Tip, Riddle & Recipe
 
WEEKLY QUOTE -  “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” - Edith Wharton

WEEKLY TIP -  Some investors play a guessing game: they watch Wall Street and try to pick future winners. Other investors recognize that diversification may improve their chances of holding shares in such companies without a lot of guessing.     

WEEKLY RIDDLE -  Tom figures out that an old grandfather clock is one minute fast every hour. How can Tom manipulate the clock to tell the correct time twice a day, while keeping it running at the same pace?

Sunglasses.
