Clone her ! <| sep |> Get your AA and transfer to a 4 year to get your BS . Get it done and out of the way now if you can . <| sep |> If I can get more futurama in my life I ' d be one happy man <| sep |> That ' s a dam good read , comments and all . <| sep |> The things I ' ve made really good money on largely fall into two categories 1 . Deep value plays with highly transparent underlying assets . 2 . Arbitrages where I ' ve seen an opportunity most people haven ' t , and worked out how to take advantage of it . With the first category you need to be patient . Some of those take years to realise value . But if you ' re borrowing at 4 % and over five years your stock is yielding say 7 % pa and then there ' s a 30 % kicker upon the NTA gap closing , that ' s still good profit . With the second category I ' d be giving up my secrets if I shared where I find them . For mine , the key to getting rich through trading is capital preservation . If you avoid the train wrecks you ' re 90 % of the way there . I have managed to be in several train wrecks , and it ' s been a costly though valuable lesson each time . eg I managed to torch about $ 70 k on ACO , because I disregarded some screaming warning signs . I ' d be much , much better off if I ' d avoided that and a few others , but cest la vie .
