How Did Your Father Get You Into the Stock Market?

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?
