Mister demany, welcome to the one percent show. I've read somewhere that your father tried hard to get you into the stock market while you were not initially interested. So i start investing this sometime in the early eighties, we shall and er. In a surprising, fast period of about a year, a ear and a half, i managed to lose all that money. That was really frustrating to me, because how was it that an mba student who was well read in the middle of a bull market could lose all his money so rapidly?
