If I may ask, where did you learn about equities, and the procedures of investing in them? Was this through schools or did you seek out the info on your own?
I would hope that most schools still offer some basic economic education, and not only as electives.
Back in the 70s and 80s, listening to Louis Rukeyser an hour a week on tv was the best education ever in economics and investing.
I went to a live seminar he did and he spent most of the lecture ripping on Carter and his failed stagflation policies.
Ha. I did not learn all of that in school. Mostly due to family and reading on my own.
