If you buy shares you will not be investing, you will be gambling.
Investing is all about buying income. When you have enough income sources your income will become predictable.
Nothing exciting, but I'd rather be bored with a predictable inflow & sleep tight at night.
Open any 'investing' magazine and count the number of ads for pillows/beds/mattresses. You will need one when you see google move by 10%, up and down, on a daily basis.
I bought car tyres Dueler XYZ AT (not exact ref) & sent a rebate the shop gave me. Got a reply from the tyre company telling me the rebate is for Dueler XYZ AT and what I had was Dueler XYZ AT HT.

The problem is that increasingly, you need to be an expert in every product that you buy and ask lots of questions and spend an inordinate amount of time.
A more serious example is with medical insurance companies: Ever heard of people being billed surgery because even though the surgeon was covered, the anaestesiologist or nurse was not?
You have to fight for not being taken advantage of. Sadly, you need the energy even more when you are sick and weak.
So, no rebate chasing for me. No complicated medical insurance either: I moved to a country where taxes cover it and make the process simple and stress free.

if you read the article to the end, it says the boy reached for a ball in front of him.
I find it hard to believe though.
Metric is more than just units and a self consistent system. It is also consistent with the fact that our numeral system is base 10.
Until the american stock exchanges converted to decimal, it was not immediate how $8 37/256 was comparable to $8 9/64.
So things are improving
