Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
Like a hitchhiker, into your vehicle, you ought to be mindful of what you let into your portfolio and investment strategy.. Don’t just pick things up along the highway unless you’re ready to deal with ‘a rider on the storm’.
