So true. Ive missed a few boats when I was younger. I chalk it up to not having done the proper research and being inexperienced.

Now, I don't care if Warren Buffet tells me not to invest in something. I do my research, understand the risks, and pull the trigger when I like it.

I promised myself I wouldn't ever miss something because I didn't know enough about it or I heard it was not a good investment.

I'd rather lose everything based on my decision than to miss a huge opportunity based on others' possibly misplaced negative opinions.

Great post.
