    Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

      Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks

It is important to consider all options and seek guidance from reliable sources before making any major decisions.

    I say "there are thousands of gas stations out there. Hundreds of gas station brands. They all basically do the same thing. There are tens of thousands of fast food restaurants. Hundreds of brands. They all basically do the same thing. And they all make a ton of money"

    "It's not about the idea, it's about the implementation."
    This such a subjective and blatantly incorrect statement. I thought TED talks were backed by data and facts. One can easily say that Google's search algorithm was a brilliant idea and the reason behind their success and that the implementation is just something important that follows.
    As another example, let's consider recruiting for a software engineer. The thing we frown on the most is candidates diving right into the execution (writing code) before thinking clearly about the problem and the solution. Execution isn't the only key to success. It is important, but the ideation phase is equally important.

    I disagree with asking help from anyone for free even if it’s family or friends. It’s just doesn’t work for me.

    That's what you get with bigger-than-life LinkedIn gurus, just opinions but not a real talk worth paying money. Why is this opinionated person on a TED Talk.
