sagacious
Could you please check my sentences with the word sagacious in them?
From what I have found "sagacious" means to have foresightedness, sound judgement, to make good decisions. Is this word used more in refrence to future events?

Ten years ago his sagacity led him to invest heavily into real estate.
The sagacious officer, weighing all the circumstances, ordered his troops to advance and led them one more time to a victory.
How else could this word be used?
Thank you
