complete bullshit SEAJ (something I can only say to a friend!)
TONS of investments create organic growth, generating a return for less than the input cost. Start with farming, and go on from there to manufacturing (preferably the sustainable variety), and evolve into services ... etc
The entire essence of trade is to create a win / win - give something you don't need (usually because you already have enough of it) in exchange for something you do need (because you don't have enough of it).
In fact, a couple of recent studies have shown how societies that become smaller or cut off from the wider world regress in their quality of life and their level of technology. Fascinating topic ...
Win / Lose thinking sucks big time. 
Point I'm making about "professional investors" is that the wealthiest people in the world did NOT make their most valuable investment decisions based on the recommendations of professional investors. Professional investors have their place, especially if you have spare cash you don't need just now. But if you're looking for ideas about how you can make more than average wealth (ideas you will then consider and evaluate before making up your own mind what to do), getting the views of successful people - and in some cases doing whatever it was that they did on their way to becoming succesful - is a more effective formula. | |
