I think investing other peoples money is where it goes from “fun”, to “not fun”. Truth is, it’s not as hard as “Wall Street” wants us to believe. I’m no genius, I just followed The Motley Fool religiously, bought great companies and rarely sold anything. A handful of these great companies will provide outsized returns (1000-2000%) and voila, market beating performance! The hard part is sitting on your hands and not “taking profits”.
It’s working for me; but as is it’s so frequently pointed out here, got to find what works for you!
