When does the learning stop?

As you begin down your investment path, many words and ideas will come to you. It is very difficult at first because of the investment vocabulary utilized by others and the fact that everyone has to start somewhere which is usually at the bottom. It is very much an emotional battle of getting out of one’s comfort zone.  You must go through a period of uncertainty and haze and know that this time of not knowing what you are doing will eventually lift. If you have purchased 1000 different securities or properties in your lifetime, the next one will have a slight difference to it compared to the previous purchases. This leads to the question as to when you will ever have enough information to be 100% knowledgeable when investing.

The answer is that you will never ever have all of the facts to make a decision. There is always something new to learn.  No matter how small, the intricacies are always there. Ultimately, investing is not about the facts and figures as it is about your instincts telling you to proceed or not.
