Back around 2007, I happened to know one of the Carter family members (original family that founded Fort Worth paper here in Texas) as he was one of our customers. This individual knew how to make a lot of money as he invested heavily into Apple, and never had to work a day in his life like most of us. I thought for sure there were better investments to gain wealth quicker than Apple, but assuming he continued to hold most of his shares he's even much, much wealthier today.
Thinking back, I must have turned my nose up at the thought of buying shares of Apple as I didn't like their products and probably thought the stock was too rich. One thing I do remember is that the POS I was interested in investing with at the time to "get rich" was Moller International, which was supposed to be developing a flying car. LOL Now while I didn't buy shares of that scam company back then and never have, I did manage to find plenty of garbage "investments" along the way.
I like what Shopify offers, as they seem to have a very good product/service offering, with tremendous growth potential. Sometimes it's easier to make money when you stop trying to "get rich" and simply invest your money with real companies with real revenue growth, adding more shares when funds are available.
