23. Investing mistakes we've made (and what we've learned)

Send us a text

There are countless ways to learn as an investor, from books, to podcasts (like this one), to quarterly earnings reports. Even so, some of the most memorable lessons are the ones we make through trial and error. Aussie FIRE co-hosts Dave and Hayden are no exception – in fact, were it not for their investing mistakes, they wouldn’t have made it this far.

In this session, they cover the key lessons they’ve learned from their investing mistakes over the years. These include:

• Trying to pick stocks without really knowing what they were doing
• Overcomplicating the investing process 
• Putting too much stock in predictions 
• Watching price movements too much 

And many more. Have you made any of these mistakes? If so, great – it’s all part of the investor’s learning experience!
