Teen Executive on the Game of Investing

I Like Reading Fictions
I haven't read a book for in like five years. Reading books recreationally gives you access to the lateral thinking of others, and there's a lot of creativity in there that is useful to absorb yourself. So if there's one thing i'm not going togge you any advice. I'm not going to give you any because i think tha, tike your aoos a moreo, i sin opinion thatye. But this is one where reading, reading fictions is fun.
