Joshua commented on the QZ article I posted a couple days ago and perfectly summarized the take-home message into an Investing Lesson.
Chart o’ the Day: Don’t “Invest” in Stupid Sh*t
Courtesy of Joshua M Brown
The chart above comes from Matt Phillips at Quartz and is a good reminder of why you shouldn’t invest in stupid sh*t. Obviously any asset can decline in price – blue chip stocks, your house, etc – nothing is immune. But don’t go out looking for additional trouble when the world is perfectly capable of handing you losses on the regular stuff.
