I would say that, it varies from one another when comes to self-investment. your up-bring would lead u to how u perceive things around u. In other words, it depends on how good is your "eye-sight" in choosing an investment and how smart are u in absorbing information that are not going public so fast.

When comes to investment world, no one can really claim themselve as "GOD" <--- Warren Buffet is exceptional? (You really think so? But he made darn a lot of money. What can u say?)

I personally would say that the element of luck is also very important when comes to investment. Hedge fund managers, yes no doubt they have the knowledge and skills, but afterall it's still undeniable that if u think u can't manage ur own money, and u really wanna give it a try. Why not?

you wouldn't know how pain it is until u fall down. but it's an experience to make us a better person isn't it?

But the fact is, when WB says something, everyone seems to believe in him so much. In other words, everyone treats him just like a GOD!
Yeah he might not be that good as u said, but the fact is, he made billions of billions. he's rich, he's brilliant, he's so influential.

This is a FACT. What can u do to prove that he's not good? WE CAN'T! coz... it's the fact. he's GOD. We don't have any "right" to comment on him.

yes u can...
U cannot prove him wrong until u become the world's richest man one day.

Understand your point. But as i've said earlier... who are we to comment on him? lolxx... He's the God of investment means he certain has the power to make the financial market up side down. He has the power.

ya that's right in US, not in msia lor.. later u kena catch by ISA then u know... LOL~ shhhh xD

rock, do u know that there are actually funds which outperformed the market when it was down?

And, I actually find that it would be pointless u ask ppl not to be another fund manager nor invest in them.

Afterall, it depends on people. If there weren't so many funds out there, do u think that the economy can be stimulated? People would just keep their money in bank or even dig a hole at the back of their garden and bunge it! Imagine if u do not invest, the economy will just move slow like a snail.

And u can't deny the fact that not everyone also has the finance knowledge. Some do still think that they can earn a profit when they invest in funds.

If u do not agree with me then explain to me why there are still so many people buy lottery?

This is life, so give fund managers a break! Peace~

Of coz nothing's is wrong if u try to be like him. Even if u can't but i guess what u learnt would transcend a lot of people. Which makes u a better person, or perhaps, wealthier?

sounds so 高深莫测 hehe. But I agree that not all choose to be one.
