Taking a shot???

The downsides & upsides of investing in the unknown

First off, nothing here is investment advice. I feel the need to say that, because in our world, anything can happen, and if you read something, and do something, that is stupid. You should always, always, do your due diligence, and if you need further clarity, enlist the advice of a financial professional.

Okay, that disclaiming out of the way, let’s’ discuss, why we need to take shots in life. No, for you alcoholics anonymous or practicing, or social drinkers??????, this isn’t that type of shot. ?? ?? So, be dissapointed, and read on.

You see them all over the place. All over your social feed, mocking you in the Youtube ad pre-rolls, or any number of other advertised in-your-face type of way. People that have hit it rich, and they now want to share the secrets with you.

That’s not bad, you should say? Benevolent humans, that want to share things? Especially wealth? But, alas, they want to share with you, how they did it, and it only costs Free to $10’s of thousands, if not more for them to guide you. And while this isn’t a knock on mentors, coaches, etc, ‘caveat emptor’, i.e. “buyer beware”.

But this isn’t about that either. This is about what is behind a lot of these persons who are plastering your eyeballs way harder than any number of infomercials could do back in the day when all you had was television. This my friends, is about “opportunities”. And for today’s discourse, mainly about “investment opportunities.”

Which is fancy speak for, something that you don’t do, that you invest in (i.e. give your hard earned money, sometimes time, sometimes other valuable things to this opportunity, and hope it returns back more than what you put in. If you are really being serious, you want this to return back 10x, 100x, 1000x, or even that crazying 10000+x.

Who would blame you? We hear all of the stories of persons that invested in Apple, Tesla, Netflix, etc, when it was less than $10, and now they are gazillionaires (or something super well off).

But reality brings truth...
