Bora Bora, Alaska
More than 60 Snider Method workshop alumni and Snider Advisors staff members are traveling together this week in beautiful Alaska. A couple of years ago, we asked our alumni if they'd be interested in taking a trip together. Everyone would pay their own way, but we would help organize it. To our surprise, lots of our alumni said yes -- and the Bora Bora Society was born.
(The name "Bora Bora Society" comes from an inside joke of sorts. We tell our clients that they should only pay attention to the markets one day out of the month. The rest of the time, they should turn off the financial TV networks and ignore the market news in the paper -- there's nothing in those news outlets that should change what they do with their investments. Kim once said, "I don't care if you go to the caves of Bora Bora, just get away from everything." So the term "going to Bora Bora" stuck.)
Here are a few pictures from our trip so far. As of the time I'm writing this, we're in port at Juneau, the only U.S. state capital inaccessible by road. Over the next few days, we'll visit Skagway, Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan and then we'll take the inside passage down to Vancouver. Internet access on our ship is spotty, but we'll post more when we can.
Wish you were here!
