I'll say I'm sort of an investor. I am a layperson investor, we'll say. Ha.
I really enjoyed reading "the Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham. I am somewhat wary of the idea that one can "beat the market" however.
My investments that I've made personally over time have grown, albeit by not that much, but still, it's a positive return overall (I think, I'd better check).
I am thinking of investing in an apartment, or better said, buying an apartment, but we'll see about that. I'd have to liquidate some stuff to do that.
