I prefer to invest in education first, and then practice the knowledge I have learned. When I discovered investing, I read a lot of personal finance books. I didn’t invest. I make sure that myself is equipped with knowledge before I invest my money. As Warren Buffett said, “Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.”. You have to learn how to invest and what are the risks accompanied in a certain investment vehicle. You have to know everything, if you want to succeed in investing, educate yourself first!
