Welcome to this edition of the Best of Money Carnival: 10 Investment Lessons!
While I was reading all those submissions, those 10 great posts remind me of 10 quick investment lessons one investor must never forget. Here we go:
#10 You Need To Consider Your Spouse Before Investing
You can be a real cowboy and be ready to lose it all on a single trade just for the sake of making THE trade that will make you rich. I guess that you should discuss your investment strategy with your spouse because you are not the only one that will be affected by a bad trading decision.
