📢 Three investors are walking down the road: a young one, a middle-aged one, and an old one. They find a magic lamp, rub it, and a Genie emerges.
— I will grant one wish to each of you! — says the Genie.
The young investor, full of ambition, says:
— I want all my startups to become unicorns, and I want to be the richest person in the world by the age of thirty!
The middle-aged investor, wise with experience, asks:
— I want to have a stable portfolio that brings me constant passive income, and I want to always make the right investments, avoiding all risks!
The old investor, with deep wrinkles and a wise gaze, looks at the Genie for a long time, then at his colleagues and says:
— I want… to always have an accurate and timely prediction of the future market for the next 24 hours.
The young and middle-aged investors exchanged puzzled looks. The Genie smiled and nodded.
The meaning: While the young chase instant success and huge money, and the middle-aged seek complete safety, the wise investor understands that the most valuable asset is information and understanding of the market. Everything else will follow if you know where and when to invest.
