Hello community!
I was referred here from RADDR's board - I think it was either Gnobility or Nords. Both forums are quite informative and add some balance and reason to the morning news.
I'm in my mid 50's, stopped earning a salary 1/1/2000, and then – confident of my prospects and investing abilities - proceeded to mess things up nicely. Not enough to break the bank or go under, but enough to learn that I am not the investing champ I thought I was. So I rolled up my sleeves, cracked open the books, learned some basics, made a whole bunch of portfolio changes, enjoyed good fortune and luck and am still on track – to not have to return to paid work again. It's tough. My biggest challenge is still to not do something really stupid.
You know, one great difference between bungee jumping and investing in markets like this is with each you hope for a positive outcome, but only with bungee will you know immediately, and then you’re safe.
We live in interesting times.
Regards, Michael
