Regret the action not taken
Robin did not buy Google when it went public. He had over $25,000 in savings. But he was afraid of investing. Google’s stock price almost tripled in the 1st year. Robin’s $25,000 investment would have been worth almost $65,000. He has regretted his failure to invest ever since. Today, Google’s stock is more than five times the original price. He did not rely on himself. His money would be worth $125,000. He learned about it. It is better to act than not act. Stock is like a pretty girl. If you like what you see, ask her out. If you do not act, you might spend years wondering “what if”. So, when Facebook went public, Robin invested all his savings. He was not aware of Facebook’s stock went south. But Robin does not regret his decision. At least, he pulled the trigger because winning consists of risky decisions. |
