My Biggest Investing Regret -- and How You Can Avoid It
Investing can be tough, and nobody has all the right answers. It often takes decades to see substantial returns on your investments, which can make it challenging to know whether you're making the right decisions in the short term.
That said, the stock market is a wealth-generating machine, and investing is one of the most effective ways to make a lot of money over time. While there's no one-size-fits-all approach to investing, there is one regret that still haunts me -- and there's a very simple way to avoid it.
