ROI

Return on Investment.

I'm a big fan of return on investment. That's one of the things I look at when I screen stocks but I don't just apply it to the market. I like a good ROI on anything I do. I don't really mind if I have to put in more work into something if I feel that the return I get is worth the extra work. But I absolutely hate it when there is no ROI. If I put in time and energy and everything I have into something and I can't reap the rewards in the end, then I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. And I hate treading water.
