I well remember in 1980, putting my savings into a hot stock tip called Brewer, a company which was bound to explode when its new technology for converting biomass into fuel took off. It seemed inevitable to me. It shrank and shrank, and finally disappeared.

If I had just put the money in a stock index fund, I woulda been much smarter.

And I coulda bought Apple in its first decade, too.
