Marathon and Investing

Marathon

In Marathon, everyone is allowed to run his/her own race.  Yes, there are some runners who will compete with each other to see who is the real champion. But, there are more runners who are there at the Marathon just to run their own race. They will do it at their own pace and timing. They are not there to compete who is the best. When they have completed the Marathon, they are happy and satisfied. Still, there will be many who have tried but failed and drop out of the race. Some may even injure themselves.

Does Investing sound similar to Marathon? What do you think?

  1. CW,

    Agree. No one is so altruistic to tell you how to double your money for free. SO called 'gurus' make more money from training classes than from investing. If they are that good, they would not need to teach. I think you know who I am referring to. If they are really sincere in sharing, charge nominal, say $100 or $200 to cover cost, if they are so passionate about sharing. When they charge in terms of thousands, only suckers will bite.

  2. If Peter Lim conducts investment lessons, he may need to book Indoor Stadium. LOL!

  3. The fact of the matter is, he does not need to earn a living from training and he would rather keep his tactics to himself, which is perfectly understandable.
