📢 A novice investor approaches an experienced guru and asks:
— Tell me, how can I quickly earn a million?
The guru, sipping his whiskey, replies:
— Very simple. First, you need to have two million.
The meaning of the joke: In investments, as in life, quick and easy money often turns out to be an illusion. To truly grow your wealth, you often need to already have significant funds, as well as time, patience, and a willingness to take risks. In other words, "earning quickly" can mean "losing quickly" if you don't have a solid financial foundation.
