.. Because it is fun!

The first edition of Andrew Hallam’s Millionaire Teacher (THE book that changed my life) was the first time I was introduced to the concept of stock picking via “play money”. I spoke with Andrew once in real life and got his autograph like a fan-boy 🙂

If I recall correctly, one of the rules in Millionaire Teacher sort of states that if one really can’t help it, devote not more than 10% of the portfolio to stock picking. Anyway, the idea behind that rule was exactly what constantly kept investing fun and interesting to me! Unfortunately, I think that particular rule doesn’t exist in the second edition anymore.

I’ve written a fair bit on index investing but there isn’t always new and fun stuff to write about it. Robo-advisors came and dug in deep. Endowus and MoneyOwl will be among the new competition
