Look at the business they are in and take actions
We can see Elon Musk is the richest man in the world and one major reason is because of Tesla. If we understand this, then we should know that Electric Vehicle (EV) will become dominant in the future versus petrol engine cars. It does not mean we must only invest into Tesla. It means that we could look at all the other EV players and understand about the potential of others too.
We can also see the number two Jeff Bezos and he’s into internet / online. Have we seen some similar businesses in some countries which are also showing a huge promise as well? Have we started to understand more of these online startups versus just usual traditional brick and mortar businesses? The more we understand how online businesses work, the easier for us to invest into one or even start one.
Of course, another easy way is just to invest into the businesses they are in. If we believe they will continue to become richer, it also meant that the businesses they helm would become more successful too. As usual, there are no certainties and circumstances do change yeah. So, invest based on what we could afford and not borrow excessively to ‘invest’ because the line between investing and speculating is a very thin one as well.
All the best
