you...

I've also learned a few painful lessons but you do remember those.

me...

True, but you never get away from learning. I've managed, over the years, to incur some losses that dwarfed that first lesson, but still I've managed to do very well, handily outperforming the general market, almost from the beginning.

I've said it before, but I view risk very differently from most people and most of the market pundits. To me a CD is the most risky investment imaginable. There are always other things to invest in that pay better and have a lower risk when things like inflation and taxes are taken into consideration. Of course those investments, like AMD, require more work, (there is no free lunch) but then it sort of depends on what kind of investor you are, how confident you are of your abilities, and how much you like doing research
