What Long-Term Investing Really Looks Like

http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/02/15/glon-mert-what-long-term-investing-really-looks-li.aspx

In February 1912, Glon and Thros Mert, fraternal twins of Scandinavian immigrants, were born at an Atlanta hospital. The Mert family didn't live an extravagant life by any means: Mrs. Mert was a stay-at-home mom, while Mr. Mert worked for the local Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO ) headquarters. Though their life was modest, both parents were very proud of what they were able to give their children.

(Story does go on.)

Zim: this is a story about how their Daddy bought
his son and daughter a few shares of Coca Cola . . .
Sonny sold his shares and thought he did good . . .
while the daughter held on to hers . . put her
children through college . . and died rich.
