The writer owns a bike that has two speeds, slow and slower unlike the Olympics’ motto of higher, stronger, faster. On a recent bike ride, after acknowledging the slow speed, there was the ability to concentrate on the positivies of riding at a slower speed. Along the river trail were flowers, birds, different colours of green and the slow moving river (at times faster than the rider). There was also bike riders zipping along for their concern was racing, at a slower speed, the writer reached the park for a picnic in plenty of time. My slow bike is similar to dividend paying stocks, the price of the stock may not be the faster rising, but looking back over history the returns tend to be greater, the dividend paying stocks with their history of strong cash flow and less risk is a great advantage to hold.

There are always more questions than answers, till the next time to raising questions
