In the olden days, when the only way you could buy or sell stocks was through a broker, a buddy's brother-in-law was a stockbroker. I was in my mid-teens and had made a few grand saved up. I spoke to the broker and he had two stocks in mind: Both were VERY boring companies in their infancy at the time. One made computerized crop planting controllers for farmers (when no such thing existed) and the other made test equipment for factories. I split the money between the two companies and both did very well.

Now, with people making their own investment decisions based on what their barber told them or what looks "cool" on the iHub breakout board, and being able to make a trade with a few clicks or taps it seems the odds are considerably more long.

Advice from a professional can be helpful.

I've often wondered how many people make money on their first investments
