I do know the book. A fellow i employed as a translator years ago gave it to me and accused me of being that

I'm glad you are taking the lessons and making your own way. Pisses me off to no end when I see the poor little rich kids whining about whatever they perceive as their problems as they live off someone else's hard work and sacrifice.

It is called walking on dead mans legs.

The ones who make money on stocks, coming or going, are the brokers

Get rid of debt, diversify and hedge one investment against another would be my only advice.

“You pays you money, you takes you chances”

CD IS WORTH JUST AS MUCH AS IT IS WORTH.
A GOLD BAR HAS A BIT OF PIZZAZ WORTH A BIT MORE THAN ITS VALUE.
SOME NICE ARTWORK IS SOMETIMES HARD TO PUT A PRICE ON.
BUT HOLDING A FINE FIREARM IN YOUR HANDS IS PRICELESS.

Hindsight is 20/20. Knowing what I know now? I'd have bought so much of the crap surplus stuff I pulled out of boxes, covered in cosmoline, at gun shows.

I've only sold a few guns from my collection over the years. One of them was a Yugo SKS I picked up at a show for $125 in the early 2000's. I despised the thing. It wouldn't cycle, I eventually fixed the gas valve and it did, shot it a few times and it just lived in the safe. One day I looked at it and said "I hate this thing."

I listed it, local, for $600. Some guy committed to buying within the hour. Met him at the local FFL the next day and did the transfer.

Had I known? I'd have bought the entire crate.

Yea I know I kept the good stuff or what I consider good.
But that surplus never got into it much. I passed on the ska when they we $69
I had a few bot sporter I liked. But never bought many when you could get a 30-30 at a pawnshop for $75
