How It Began in Silicon Valley

I was once an engineer. At 43, investing allowed me to retire early. Over more than 30 years of investing, very few friends around me were able to keep making money from investing, let alone retire early.

I was once an engineer. At 43, investing allowed me to retire early. Over more than 30 years of investing, very few friends around me were able to keep making money from investing, let alone retire early. Investing is not difficult at all, unless we make it too difficult in our minds. Anyone willing to learn can pick it up with ease.

Through a long investing journey, I came to understand that not everyone has more than 30 years to learn. Many friends today are either near retirement age or already retired. How to make the best investments, where success is needed and failure cannot be afforded, has become an urgent need. For young people or those just entering society, the question is how to invest well, avoid spending a lifetime as laborers, become capital owners, retire early, and pursue a higher meaning in life.

Teaching investing is my interest. The main purpose of creating this online learning site is to help people avoid losses, improve returns, and live better lives. Through this learning website, we provide simple and practical investment concepts and tools. Readers can follow our investment lessons and market analysis with ease and move step by step toward financial freedom.

We will meet online for a long time. In the future, perhaps we will also have the chance to discuss face to face and become happy, successful investors.

Understand the laws of the market and know how to buy long-term investments. Do nothing! * None: My future self. Do nothing, only recommend passive funds, hold them for a long time, and never sell them. none! * Ignorance: feeling the market

Chapter 58 [Investment Philosophy] - Successful Investors
James: History and Today

Chapter 58 [Investment Philosophy] - Successful Investors

Our cognition of external things is entirely based on past experiences. This experience and scene will continue to exist in our hearts. Whenever we see highly similar external things, although they are completely different from the past, we will combine them with our inner cognition and think that they are the same. For example, a person who is extremely afraid of dogs will be afraid even if he sees the tamest dog in the world, because he will regard the docile dog on the outside as the same ferocious dog that once bit him inside. So, in the past
