I noticed I have a very positive feeling towards the word “investor.” I think entrepreneur, and automatically hope they succeed... Or not, investors still get points. Interestingly, even during my years as a CPA & attorney, I never examined my investor preconception.
I just got done watching a couple dozen YouTubes from people who think a financial collapse is coming. Even though I think the same thing, none of those podcasters had a clue, and I’m including Peter Shiff & Harry Dent. What I got out of them is that they call the people trying to protect their money “investors.” Those aren’t investors, those are take-the-money-and-runners. Those people are the biggest threat to Capitalism.
p.s. The only advice that seemed to make sense was to start your own business.
