Making Money Minute with Ron Hiebert - Getting & Staying Wealthy
Getting wealthy and staying that way are two different skill sets. To get rich you need plenty of optimism and be a risk taker. To maintain riches requires paranoia and conservatism - the opposite traits, it took to build wealth in the first place. Most people are good at one but far less are competent at both. Bill Hwang was a hedge fund manager good at making a fortune. Then he unravelled and racked up $100 billion in losses. Bill Gates is one of the few good at both - making and keeping wealth. As an investor you need to have a clear picture of what you are good at and stick with it. Get help where your skills lack.
