[Enterprising Investor]

No gambling addict here.  

I do play low-volatility slot machines for fun. My goal is converting free play into cash and earning free nights. Sometimes, you also get lucky. Most people simply give it back by looking to repeat.

I always hated when people said that investing is gambling. I think we would all agree that few people have the skill to make investment decisions on their own. My best friend and wife has only placed one trade in her life. It actually happened a couple of weeks ago.

I think Buffett has always wanted to help the average person when it comes to investing. Using a low-cost index fund is cheaper than paying a broker an asset management fee.

Regarding education, I believe I would rate above average. I have earned a BBA with a concentration in finance from Southern Methodist University (1985), a MBA in Corporate Finance from the University of Dallas (1995)  and a MS in Real Estate from University of Texas at Arlington (2023).
