I have a math major, studied Accounting in college before switching to Criminal Justice then later to computer science & math. Then as my number 1 hobby, learned the stock market from a guy who was on the cover of Barron’s magazine and invested rather wisely over the last 40 years. I made 1 mistake. The internet bubble. But, recovered it all back and then some.
