И на самом деле, многие из нас просто забывают о главной цели существования фондового рынка – это инвестирование. Я встречал две основные группы мнений об инвестировании. Первое мнение заключается в том, что на инвестировании много не заработаешь. Второе, что инвестирование – это удел богатых людей.…
