📢 Two investors are walking down the street — one is a novice, all excited with shining eyes, and the other is experienced, looking calm but with a slight weariness in his gaze.
Novice: "Can you imagine, I just invested all my savings in a new cryptocurrency! Analysts say it will grow by 1000% in a month!"
Experienced, unperturbed: "Yes-yes, I remember when I thought the same. And then I learned what a tulip mania is."
Novice: "What is that?"
Experienced: "It's when you buy tulips for the price of a house and then sell them for the price of a bulb."
Novice, pondering: "So you think I'm going to lose money?"
Experienced, smiling: "Well, if these are your first mistakes, then there's nothing wrong with that. It's like in the gym: at first, it hurts, then you realize that a strain isn't the worst thing."
Novice: "So what should I do?"
Experienced: "Just remember: there are two types of investors. Those who think they know everything, and those who know they know nothing, but pretend well. And then there are those who lose money, and those who lose it a little slower."
