On... Missing the Bus
Starting to invest in the market at 40 seems too late and the bus has departed a long time ago. So why have I never started? Was it because I had never heard of the market? No money to invest? Don't know where to start? All possible reasons. However, none of them close. On the contrary, there was never a lack of opportunity for me to start investing especially during the early days of my career. Conversation with close friends occasionally drifted off to discussion about investing in the stock market and due to my lack of interest, it could sometimes be annoying. So, if there was no lack of introduction, what was it that kept me out of the game? This go back a long way... to the late eighties (when I was less than 10 years old). At that time, my family members were actually 'investing' in the stock market. I never knew how my family members did in their venture, but I don’t recall them being too successful. If they had been, I would have known. What I do know though...
