Here is a story about the Sequoia and Fiscal Investors- We hope it is entertaining and also why we use the tree analogy so often. We hope you can relate!
In the heart of a great forest stood a tall and majestic sequoia tree. It was a sight to behold, with its massive trunk and far-reaching branches that seemed to touch the sky. The sequoia had stood there for hundreds of years, and it had seen many things in its time. It had watched as the forest grew and changed around it, and it had seen generations of animals come and go.
One day, a group of Fiscal Investors came to the forest. They were not like any investors the sequoia had seen before. They carried strange insight, knowledge, devices that beeped and flashed, and they wore suits and ties instead of the usual lavish lifestyle choices of expensive furs, clothes, and the latest gadgets. The sequoia watched as they set up camp near its roots and began to talk amongst themselves.
As the days passed, the Fiscal Investors spent their time studying the forest and taking measurements of the trees. They spoke of things like “growth rates” and “market values,” and the sequoia listened intently to their conversations. It didn’t understand much of what they were saying, but it was fascinated, nonetheless.
One day, one of the Fiscal Investors came over to the sequoia and began to speak to it directly. “Do you know the value of the forest?” the Fiscal Investor asked. The sequoia shook its branches in confusion. “Value?” it replied. “What do you mean?”
The Fiscal Investor went on to explain the concept of financial value and how it related to the forest. He spoke of how the trees in the forest were worth money, and how investors would pay large sums of money to own a piece of the forest. The sequoia was amazed. It had never thought of itself as being worth anything before.
As the days went on, the Fiscal Investor taught the sequoia more about financial literacy. It learned about stocks and bonds, and how investors could make money by buying and selling them. It learned about interest rates and inflation, and how they could affect the value of money over time.
At first, the sequoia was overwhelmed by all of this information. But as it learned more, it began to see the value in understanding these concepts. It realized that by understanding the financial world, it could better protect itself and the forest from those who would seek to exploit it for their own gain.
As the Fiscal Investors packed up their camp and left the forest, the sequoia felt a sense of gratitude towards them. It knew that it would never fully understand the complexities of the financial world, but it was grateful for the knowledge it had gained. It knew that it would continue to stand tall and proud in the forest, but now it would do so with a new appreciation for the world beyond its roots.
