This thread will be dedicated to anyone who can attribute serendipity as much or more than any other factor in a succesful investment or trade, etc. The aim is to lessen the need for "luck" and educate ourselves in the endless vagaries of the marketplace in order to at least overcome bad luck! This may the place to change your gambling to investing.
The Blind Squirrel refers to: Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then. and results from my own (and others by their admission) experience in stumbling across Green Oasis Environmental on the Five Dollars & Under forum on my first night on the internet without even a computer (I am a WebTV subscriber). This blind squirrel found a GOLDEN ACORN.
Anyway, that's my story. What's yours? I want to eliminate as much as possible the blindness of investing for the individual who doesn't have the means to access the high-powered information, pro and con, that the really big boys play with. (is that messianic or what?) |
