I make money blogging. I make money working a real world. But what I really want to do is to make money investing in the stock market. I know it should not be this hard. All I have to do is call a brokerage firm, or look up a stock broker. It should be the easiest thing in the world. Except I'm chicken.
Fortunes have been made and fortunes have been lost in the stock market. Smart investors are hard to come by, and what are the chances that these investors will be willing to share their investing methods with you? What's in it for them? The world is run by incentives, and making money is one of the most powerful incentives out there. Oh sure we can say that if more people were rich, the effect on the economy would be reward enough for everybody, but people aren't wired that way. Which is just too bad.
So I guess I've got to take some classes on investing in the stock market, and maybe read a few more books. I haven't even finished The Intelligent Investor. I will now hang my head in shame.
